Four strikes nominated for September Goal of the Month

Here are September's Goal of the Month award nominations, as sponsored by Strategic Solutions. 

Players from a number of the club's different teams are up for the award, with four strikes eligible. 

Dominic Sadi's smart finish against Sheffield Wednesday in the under-21s Professional Development League is the first nominee. The midfielder received the ball at the edge of the box and curled a brilliant effort into the far corner, with the goalkeeper unable to prevent it hitting the back of the net.

A moment of brilliance from Lucy Cooper is option B. In the thrashing of Maidenhead United, Cooper showed real composure to take a touch, flick the ball beyond the defender and arrow a powerful strike into the top corner. 

Cooper's teammate Gemma McGuinness is option C in the competition for her goal against Torquay United. The Cherries' top scorer took aim from distance and left the goalkeeper with no chance with her driven effort. 

Option D comes from the first-team as Dominic Solanke opened the scoring against Brighton & Hove Albion. Ryan Christie led the press, making a key block on goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen to open up the opportunity. Nonetheless, Solanke still had a lot to do and lofted the ball into the back of the net.
