Diego Gomez's brilliant goal from the halfway line against Crystal Palace has won the Premier League's goal of the month competition for October.

The midfielder spotted Palace keeper Walter Benitez was off his line when he won possession in the centre circle and drilled an effort from a yard inside the Palace half over the stranded Benitez.

Gomez had tried something similar in the previous Premier League game against Sunderland but it didn't come off.

Gomez said: “I looked and saw the goalkeeper a little bit advanced," he said. "I hadn’t looked beforehand but, when the ball got to me, it was a good pass and I think I controlled it well. When it went in I didn’t know where to celebrate but I was really happy for the win and to score a beautiful goal.

“When I was a kid I’m sure I must have scored like this, but never in professional football. I think this will give me more confidence, to have more chances and to take more of the chances I get.”
