Arsenal striker, Olivier Giroud, has won this year’s FIFA’s Puskas Award, for “the most beautiful goal of the season.”
Giroud scored a stunning scorpion kick against Crystal Palace, in a 2-0 win at the Emirates in January.
The France international takes home the prize, ahead of Deyna Castellanos, who struck a 94th-minute winner from the centre circle for Venezuela, in the Under-17 Women’s World Cup last October and goalkeeper Oscarine Masuluke.
Masuluke, who plays for South African club Baroka FC, came forward to score a spectacular late overhead kick to earn a 1-1 draw against Orlando Pirates last November.
Public voting on the Puskas award winner closed on Monday and the winner was announced at a ceremony in London.
