Southampton star Sofiane Boufal wins October Goal of the Month award for stunning solo effort in West Brom win

Sofiane Boufal has claimed the October Goal of the Month award for his incredible solo goal in Southampton's 1-0 win over West Brom.

The Moroccan international struck an 85th minute winner at St Mary's with a moment of individual brilliance to sink Tony Pulis' side.

Boufal took the ball round six opposing players after starting in his own half before finishing into the bottom corner from the edge of the box.

Reminiscent of Diego Maradona's infamous goal against England - not the Hand of God - the Moroccan picked the ball up inside his own half facing his own goal.
