Jhon Duran has won September 2024's Guinness Goal of the Month award for his sensational match-winning strike in Aston Villa's dramatic 3-2 comeback victory over Everton.

Duran came off the bench and scored a 76th-minute long-range screamer that completed a turnaround from 2-0 down at Villa Park. The goal was so good that it stunned his own team-mates, with both Youri Tielemans and Emiliano Martinez holding their heads in disbelief.

Remarkably, it was the third time in four Premier League matches that Duran had scored a game-winning goal as a substitute. 

After the goal, head coach Unai Emery said: "His potential is huge," while team-mate and fellow striker Ollie Watkins said: "That is what he's got in his locker, he has got a lot of ability. We have seen him score worldies before. If you back yourself to shoot from that far, why not?"

The 20-year-old Colombian wins the award after his goal topped a shortlist of eight of the best in September following votes from the public and a panel of experts.

He is the first Villa player to win the accolade since Danny Ings claimed the August 2021 award for his scissor-kick against Newcastle United.

Duran, who this week signed a new contract at Aston Villa until 2030, will hope to continue his impressive goalscoring season when Villa travel to Fulham on Saturday 19 October.
