You've voted Daichi Kamada’s match-winning effort against Aston Villa as your October Goal of the Month!
The Japan international inflicted Villa’s first defeat in 12 matches by racing onto a loose pass in the Villa half, beating a man and then firing a crisp low effort into the bottom corner from outside the area.
As well as putting Palace ahead for the second time on the night, it turned out to be the match-winner – seeing the Eagles advance to the quarter-finals of the competition for the first time in 13 years.
You awarded the goal 36.9% of your votes for October, with Jean-Philippe Mateta’s lethal finish against Tottenham Hotspur – also a match-winner – running it close with 30.8% of your votes.
Annabel Blanchard’s strike against Leicester City (13.4%) – our first-ever strike in the Women’s Super League – and Ebere Eze’s well-directed header at Villa (11%) also performed well in the polls.
Typically understated, Kamada told Palace TV: “I’m very happy to get Goal of the Month, and I hope I can score a lot this season for the Palace.
“Sometimes I shoot well [from outside the area] – every year I score two, three or four goals from outside the box – so I have to shoot a lot!”
