Fulham full-back Cyrus Christie is the Sky Bet Championship Goal of the Month winner for June, receiving 49 per cent of the public vote.
With just five goals in 285 prior league games, Christie hardly rated as a threat when he stepped into the Fulham attack, but the sweetness of his low, 25-yard drive suggested otherwise.
Fulham FC statement
Cyrus Christie has won the EFL’s Sky Bet Championship Goal of the Month for June.
His crisp strike against Queens Park Rangers came out on top of a fan vote in which more than 11,000 people partook, with Cyrus edging out Luton Town’s Harry Cornick for top spot.
“I probably won’t ever hit another one as clean!” Christie said after receiving his trophy. “I do it quite a lot in training, I’m always working on it, so it was nice that it came off for once!
“It was nice to get on the scoresheet, especially as it was the winner in a West London derby. It would have been nice if there were some fans there, though!
“That’s the end the away fans would have been at as well so it would have been good, but it was more important to win the game.”
