The West Ham striker wins the award for his stunning bicycle kick against Crystal Palace.
He said: “I’m delighted to have won the Goal of the Month competition, especially given how good some of the other goals were.
“As soon as I hit it I knew it was in, I got a good connection and knew it would hit the back of the net. It’s definitely the best goal I’ve ever scored, one I’m very proud of.
“I enjoy every goal I score, but that one was certainly a little bit more special – I don’t think I’ll ever get bored of watching that one back.”
