Leeds United forward Joel Piroe is the Sky Bet Championship Goal of the Month winner for September.
A goal full of counter-attacking pace, poise and precision. The interchange between Georginio Rutter and Wilfried Gnonto was sublime, with Piroe skipping over the ball and finally slotting in.
Piroe said: «I'm very happy, it's always nice to score goals and even better to get an award for it.
»We have worked on many combinations between myself and Georginio Rutter in training and it worked perfect for that goal."

Lead Sky Bet EFL Goal of the Month judge and Sky Sports Pundit Don Goodman said: «There were plenty of stunning goals across the Championship in September, but the fast pace of the passing, movement and finish, as Leeds turned defence into attack, makes Joel Piroe's strike vs Millwall stand out from the rest.
»It can be very easy to make the wrong decision when counter attacking at that speed, but Leeds made it look easy, finding the net following a sharp string of passes. The exchange between Georginio Rutter and Wilfried Gnonto was precise, and Piroe's touch and finish was a thing of beauty."
Piroe beat off competition from Hull City's Aaron Connolly, Ipswich Town's Nathan Broadhead & QPR's Andre Dozzell.
