Tom Cairney has scooped the first Goal of the Month Award in the 19/20 season for August following his stunner against his former club Blackburn Rovers.

The midfielder received 37% of your votes which was rivalled only by Ivan Cavaleiro’s curler which won all three points at Huddersfield. The winger also claimed third place for his similar strike in the 4-0 thumping of Millwall. 

Captain Cairney’s strike opened his 19/20 competitive goal account in style after finding the top corner from Harry Arter’s pass leaving Christian Walton in the Rovers goal with no chance.

The goal sparked a streak of three wins in a row, scoring eight goals in the process, before the defeat to Nottingham Forest.
