Sunderland midfielder Max Power is the Sky Bet League One Goal of the Month winner for September, receiving 58% of the public vote.
There is something magical about a shot that teases the keeper into believing he can save it before arcing cruelly out of his reach. Power’s sweeping effort was a perfect example.
Power said: “I’m over the moon with it because I’ve never won an award like that before.
“It’s always nice to be recognised and all the more so because we earned the three points, because although personal accolades are great, it’s all about the team and picking up positive results.
“The game was fairly balanced at the time and it came out of nowhere, so when it hit the back of the net, it was a great buzz and a great feeling in front of 30,000 fans.
“It’s the type of moment you play football for and you can tell by my reaction what I thought about because I almost ended up on the gravel knee sliding.”
Power beat off competition from MK Dons Rhys Healey and Bristol Rovers’ Jonson Clarke Harris.
