Mateta's Brighton backheel nominated for Premier League GOTM

Jean-Philippe Mateta's audacious backheel against Brighton & Hove Albion has been nominated for Premier League Goal of the Month for February.

The Frenchman opened the scoring against the Seagulls by cutely flicking the ball home in a double nutmeg backheel - an emphatic way to mark his debut.
