Luka Jovic wins October Goal of the Month prize

Luka Jovic doesn’t just score lots of goals, he also hits some absolute stunners and has now been awarded for his acrobatic effort against Fortuna Düsseldorf.

Jovic recently became the first ever Eintracht player to score five goals in a Bundesliga game. Now the burly attacker has set another club record by winning the ARD Sportschau Goal of the Month award twice in one calendar year, something no other Eagle has ever accomplished. After collecting the prize in April for his winning goal, a back-heeled flick in the DFB Cup semi-finals, fans have chosen his sideways scissor-kick against Düsseldorf as their Goal of the Month for October.
