Martial wins GOTM prize



Anthony Martial has followed up his Player of the Month prize for October by also scooping the best goal accolade.

The France international provided an undoubted highlight of the month when latching onto Romelu Lukaku's flick-on to beat Hugo Lloris with his left foot and settle a tight encounter with Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford.

The Premier League winner polled 35 per cent of the vote to beat off competition from second-placed Jesse Lingard, whose header at Swansea City in the Carabao Cup proved popular. Joshua Bohui's fine solo effort in the UEFA Youth League draw against Benfica finished in third spot.

Martial becomes the third player to pick up the award this season, following Paul Pogba (for his strike at Swansea City) and Antonio Valencia (for his screamer against Everton).

Premier League | Stamford Bridge | Attendance: 41,615 | Scorer: Morata 55 Manchester United’s Stamford Bridge frustrations continued as Alvaro Morata’s second-half header sealed a 1-0 victory for Chelsea. The Blues’ frontman struck the killer blow on 55 minutes as he rose unmarked to head home following a solid period of pressure from the hosts.
