There was always a good chance the winner of the vote for our latest Goal of the Month award would come from our men’s team win at Leicester City, given all three strikes that day made the eight-strong list of nominations, and indeed it is the one from Kai Havertz that is the fans’ popular choice.
A third of the votes cast were for the German’s deft lob for a goal that was equally about the assist – Enzo Fernandez providing a delicious pass over the top of the Foxes backline that fell perfectly for the finish.
Running Havertz close in the poll was Ben Chilwell’s volley from out wide at his old stomping ground. That received 28 per cent and with 19 per cent of the votes, Mateo Kovavic’s acrobatic effort in the same game was third.
