Vote for the EFL Goal of the Month as nominations are revealed – August 2022

Vote for the EFL Goal of the Month as nominations from the Championship, League One and League Two are revealed Friday morning.

The English Football League have picked out the best goals from all three divisions, four from each division over the past few weeks.  The official vote can be made via the efl.com website, or you can vote on the polls below.

Goals from Preston, Exeter, Charlton, Ipswich, Wycombe, Bradford, Northampton, Crewe and Barrow have been included. This is what they had to say…

Chris Willock – QUEENS PARK RANGERS v Middlesbrough – 5^th August

There was nothing on when Willock turned in his own half. That was until he charged towards goal, used his strength to fend off two challenges and arrowed his shot into the top corner.

Ismaila Sarr – West Bromwich Albion v WATFORD – 8^th August

What stands out about Sarr’s 55-yard lob from inside his own half is just how effortless and calm it feels on every replay. No rush, no violent hack at the ball, just measured perfection.

Brad Potts – Luton Town v PRESTON NORTH END – 13^th August

Why throw your head at a far post cross when you can pull off a leaping torso-high falling volley with such venom? Top marks for imagination, degree of difficulty, style and execution.

Ilias Chair – QUEENS PARK RANGERS v Hull City – 30^th August

Jinking his way into space at full speed with the ball at his feet, Chair didn’t hesitate as he captured the image in his mind and then deliciously whipped his shot into the far corner.

Harry Kite – EXETER CITY v Port Vale – 6^th August

As the ball looped out of the penalty area towards him, Kite’s only thought was driving his right boot over the ball to keep his volley down. He timed the contact to sweet perfection.

Sean Clare – CHARLTON ATHLETIC v Plymouth Argyle – 16^th August

With so many players squeezed into the Plymouth area, Clare had plenty of time to size up his shot. He swept it hard and true, clipping the inside of the far post for good measure.

Tyreece John-Jules – Shrewsbury Town v IPSWICH TOWN – 20^th August

You cannot score without the ball, so John-Jules decided to go and fetch it, dispossessing a defender, then employing a lovely side-shuffle as he slalomed his way to a cool low finish.

Dominic Gape – Barnsley v WYCOMBE WANDERERS – 20^th August

In 193 career appearances, Gape had only ever scored three goals. You would never know it from the instant audacity with which he dropped a gem of a 40-yard lob just under the bar.

Richie Smallwood – BRADFORD CITY v Newport County – 13^th August

Newport keeper Nick Townsend knew exactly where Smallwood was aiming, yet such was the purity and accuracy of the strike that the rising 25-yarder still flew into the top corner.

Sam Hoskins – Crawley Town v NORTHAMPTON TOWN – 16^th August

Marrying vision with technique, Hoskins fooled everyone, including Crawley keeper Corey Addai, into thinking he would chip his free-kick. Instead, he cheekily bent it inside the post.

Courtney Baker-Richardson – CREWE ALEXANDRA v Northampton Town – 20^th August

Baker-Richardson had barely won the ball back when he decided to let fly. No matter that the ball was still in his feet, his angled, rising drive still generated a thrilling amount of power.

Josh Gordon – BARROW v Harrogate Town – 20^th August

Gordon used the element of surprise when he turned on the ball on the angle of the area, and instantly looped his dipping shot over Harrogate keeper Peter Jameson into the far top corner.
