Black Stars Ghana international Alexander Djiku has won Goal of the Month award in France.
The Strasbourg defender gave his fans something to cheer for after scoring a bicycle kick considered one of the best goals of his career.
Djiku was already waiting in the 18-yard box when France attacker, Kevin Gameiro, flicked the ball with his head which came in the direction of the Black Stars defender whose improvised overhead kick found the back of the net.
The goal ensured that his side recorded a 1-0 win over Monaco to move them to third on the French Ligue 1 log. It was Djiku’s second goal for the club since joining them three seasons ago from relegated Caen.
Alexander Djiku’s goal beat off competition from Florent Mollet’s strike for Montpellier and Wissam Ben Yedder’s flicking effort against PSG for the award.
Djiku became the Ghanaian with the most appearances in the French Ligue 1 on Sunday.
The Black Stars defender played a key role as Strasbourg edged Lens 1-0 to climb up to fourth place in the French top flight.
A neatly converted penalty by Ludovic Ajorque was enough to hand the all-important victory for the home side at the Stade de la Meinau.
