For when it came to casting a vote there was only one goal to choose from...Boufal's!

They certainly narrowed down the list of potential winners.

All nominees shared a common theme with Moroccan international Boufal's 66th minute winner in the EFL Cup triumph over Sunderland there to be played again and again...and again.

Three different camera angles, but same result as the former Lille man cut in from the left before unleashing a blinder beyond Jordan Pickford's reach to give Southampton a 1-0 win to do for David Moyes' men.

So no matter how many times they replayed the tape, Saints' fans had no choice but to come to the conclusion that £21million new boy Boufal's wonder strike was the one and only contender.

Maybe there will be more super-duper goals to choose from in November.
