And the award for the Premier League's December Goal of the Month goes to... Andros Townsend.

The Crystal Palace winger admitted he wasn't aware of how special his goal was until he saw it on TV.

"We got a free-kick and the ball's dropped out of the air," Townsend said.

"I just thought, 'Yeah, it's sat up perfectly, I'm going to hit this.'

"I didn't really know how good a goal it was. Everyone was saying, 'It was incredible, it was the best goal I've ever seen.'

"I just thought it was a volley from outside the box and it's not until I watched it back, then I thought, 'Oh wow, maybe that is a bit special.' "
