Sunderland fan Bradley Lowery wins Match of the Day Goal of the Month

Sunderland fan Bradley Lowery has won Match of the Day's Goal of the Month award for December after the five-year-old cancer sufferer scored in the warmup before a game last month.

Bradley, who has neuroblastoma, was mascot for the Black Cats' 1-0 defeat to Chelsea at the Stadium of Light on Dec. 14 and sent Blues goalkeeper Asmir Begovic the wrong way with a strike ahead of kickoff.

Following a campaign that saw fans call for the goal to win the Match of the Day award, Bradley was named joint-winner alongside Manchester United's Henrikh Mkhitaryan for his goal against Sunderland on Dec.
