The goal owed plenty to the tenacity, vision and passing ability of Mason Mount, who won possession in his own half before releasing his fellow Academy graduate with a raking through ball. Hudson-Odoi's touch was immaculate and he had the finish to boot, calmly slotting into the net. It was a textbook breakaway goal and set us on our way to a 2-1 victory in northern France.

It was a competitive contest, with Hudson-Odoi's effort earning 28 per cent of supporters' votes cast on the Chelsea website and the 5th Stand app.

That tally was marginally ahead of Jude Soonsup-Bell v Barnsley U18s (20 per cent of the vote), Pernille Harder v Everton Women (16 per cent), and Tammy Abraham and Lewis Bate against Newcastle and Barnsley U18s respectively (both 15 per cent).

The other goal nominated was also in our Under-18s' big win over Barnsley and came from Harvey Vale.

Hudson-Odoi follows Reece James (v Brighton) and Timo Werner (v Southampton) in winning Chelsea Goal of the Month awards this season.
