Goal of the month

Calafiori wins our Emirates Goal of the Month

Riccardo Calafiori has topped our poll to determine the winner of September’s Emirates Goal of the Month award.

The Italian’s superb strike against Manchester City received 40% of all the votes cast, with Caitlin Foord’s volley against Rangers coming second with 22%, while Beth Mead’s well-taken strike against BK Hacken finished third with 19%.

Riccardo marked his first start for the club in style at the Etihad Stadium last month, with his award-winning moment coming 22 minutes into the contest.

Thomas Partey played a quickly-taken free-kick down the left channel for Gabriel Martinelli to race onto, and he edged into the area before pulling the ball back to the Italian defender.

Without hesitation, he whipped a first-time left-footed effort towards goal, and watched it sail out of the reach of Ederson and whistle into the top corner, sending the travelling Gooners wild.

That goal was also a contender for the Premier League's best strike of the month, and is certain to be up there in the voting for our seasonal award.
