Town winger Wes Burns has won the Sky Bet Championship Goal of the Month award for December for his brilliant trivela strike against Coventry.

The Wales international cut in from the right and curled a brilliant outside-of-the-boot effort into the top corner of the net following a lengthy passing move from the back involving most of his teammates.

The 29-year-old fought off goals scored by Watford’s Wesley Hoedt, James Justin of Leicester and Rotherham’s Sam Clucas to claim the gong.

“I’m delighted,” Burns told the club site. “It's the first Goal of the Month award I've won.

“The team move is probably what gets it over the line for winning the award because Wesley Hoedt (Watford) scored a fantastic goal from the halfway line and James Justin’s (Leicester City) was an unbelievable strike, so I think it’s the team move that gets it over the line but I’m not taking anything away from the finish either.

“I’ve tried it so many times in training and they fly over, or you don’t hit them right and they bobble towards the 'keeper, but I caught it sweet this time and I’m glad it was on a matchday.”

Westy added 12:51 - Jan 19 The best individual goal and the best team goal. Given Coventry scored Wes' goal proved to be the winner. If the build up is part of it I expect goal of the season too.

Gforce added 16:07 - Jan 19 Fantastic goal and probably goal of the season m. If De Bruyne or Foden had scored it,the Sky pundits would be waxing lyrical for months about it.

Dissboyitfc added 09:54 - Jan 20 Can't Believe that someone has found a negative comment to say about this story! It's called a trivela because it's special and a technique that will not score many goals a season in any league! Pathetic comment which I can't believe anyone said, let alone people agreeing! If this goal had been scored by a household name in a bigger team it would be spoken about much more than it has. Won't be a better goal scored anywhere this season!
