Town winger Wes Burns has won the Sky Bet Championship Goal of the Month award for December. 

The Welshman had been nominated for the prize after applying the finish to a brilliant team move in Town’s victory over Coventry City on 2 December, curling the ball home with the outside of his foot following a flowing move which began inside the Blues’ penalty area. 

The strike was voted the winner ahead of three other nominees from across the Championship, having already won the Club’s Goal of the Month prize. 

“I’m delighted," the winger said.

"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.”
