Jordan Henderson’s wonder goal at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea has won Match of the Day’s Goal of the Month award.
The England midfielder scored what proved to be the match-winner about ten minutes before the break. Dejan Lovren had already put us 1-0 ahead with a neatly taken back-post finish, but Henderson’s stunner stole the headlines.
He controlled Gary Cahill’s poor clearance about 30 yards from goal and hit a sweet curling effort right into the top corner. Chelsea keeper Thibaut Courtois was left flat-footed and helpless.
Henderson picked up an impressive 42% of the TV vote, more than double the number of people who decided to vote for runner-up Grant Xhaka’s goal for Arsenal against Hull. (Echo)
