Jordan Henderson's Stamford Bridge thunderbolt has been voted the BBC’s Goal of the Month for September.

The Liverpool captain’s ferocious strike collected 42% of the TV vote, double the number who voted for runner up Grant Xhaka’s strike for Arsenal against Hull.

Theo Walcott’s goal for The Gunners against Chelsea was third with 11%.

In the Premier League era Henderson is the 16th winner of the BBC’s Goal of the Month competition.

The award means that the Reds have now won both of the first two Goal of the Month competitions, after Sadio Mane’s wonderful effort at Arsenal on the opening weekend of the season won the August prize.

Mane and Henderson's strikes will now be in contention for MOTD's Goal of the Season prize but the Reds still have a long way to go to match their unique 1987/88 achievement.

All 10 goal shortlisted in that season’s competition were scored by Liverpool players!

They were as follows: Steve Nicol v Newcastle; John Barnes v QPR; Peter Beardsley v Everton; John Aldridge v Arsenal; Peter Beardsley v Arsenal; Ray Houghton v Everton; Steve McMahon v Manchester United; John Aldridge v Nottingham Forest; John Aldridge v Nottingham Forest; Peter Beardsley v Nottingham Forest.
