Demarai Gray’s stunning strike against Manchester City has been voted November and December Budweiser's Goal of the Month, giving him his first Premier League monthly award.
The Everton midfielder ran from his own half before steadying himself and curling a right-footed shot into the top corner, despite losing his balance, to earn his side a point at the champions.
“The strike, as soon as it left my foot, I knew it was going in,” Gray told Everton's official website.
