Blues forward Nathan Broadhead’s brilliant free-kick against Sheffield Wednesday has been voted the Sky Bet League One Goal of the Month for February.

Broadhead’s goal just before half-time brought the Blues back into the match against the Owls with the game at 2-0 and Leif Davis, via another free-kick, levelled just after the break.

The Blues striker, who won the club’s own Goal of the Month award, was up against strikes from Peterborough's Hector Kyprianou, Elliot Bonds of Cheltenham and Lincoln City's Ben House.

The 24-year-old, who earlier this week was named in the Wales squad ahead of their March internationals, admitted he’s not been a regular free-kick taker.

“When I was younger I’ve hit a few like that, but that was the first time in senior football I’ve scored a free-kick and probably the second I’ve ever taken,” he said.

“When we scored that goal, you could tell we just changed the game so it was important at the time for me to just get going again.

“Overall I’m absolutely delighted with the award and hopefully can get more.”

Lead Sky Bet EFL Goal of the Month judge and Sky Sports pundit Don Goodman added: “The power, dip and accuracy of this superb free-kick meant that even one of the division’s top goalkeepers [Cameron Dawson] failed to lay a hand on it.

“It was a goal that sent Ipswich into half-time with some belief and inspired a comeback to earn a point against a promotion rival — who knows how important that point could be come May.”

Mark added 12:03 - Mar 17 Broadheadvs goal on 11th February turned round our season, giving us the confidence for an excellent run. The defence looked all over the place before that goal, and after it we have not conceded once!

Ipswichbusiness added 14:23 - Mar 17 Amazing what happens when a talented young player is given a run of games in a good team. If you bump into an Everton fan, try not to mention it or laugh.

Len_Brennan added 14:48 - Mar 17 I'm impressed with how Don Goodman not only looked at how technically good the goal was, but also the importance of the timing, the game itself, the opposition & the impact of it in giving the players the belief that they could still get something out of a game that seemed lost.
