Liverpool’s Jordan Henderson has scooped September’s Premier League goal of the month award for his long-range missile against Chelsea.
The Reds captain, who also wore the armband during England’s 0-0 draw with Slovenia in midweek, curled home an unstoppable right-footed effort from 30-yards, which dipped and swerved over Thibuat Courtois.
Henderson’s effort ultimately proved decisive in a 2-1 win for Jurgen Klopp’s side at Stamford Bridge, a victory which kept Liverpool in touch with Premier League leaders Manchester City.
The 26-year-old overcame significant competition to win the award in the shape of Arsenal’s Granit Xhaka, who opened his account for his new club with a similar blast from distance in the 4-1 victory over Hull City.
Henderson also beat his Liverpool and England team-mate Adam Lallana, who capped an impressive month with thumping finish in the 4-1 victory over champions Leicester City.
