Mateo Kovacic scoops January's Premier League Goal of the Month award for his sublime long-range volley in draw against Liverpool as Croatian star hails 'the best of my career'

Chelsea's Mateo Kovacic has won January's Premier League Goal of the Month after his spectacular volley against Liverpool.

The strike came during Chelsea's 2-2 draw against the Reds and sparked a comeback as the London side trailed 2-0 when Kovacic pulled one back.

After a Marcos Alonso free kick was palmed away by Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher, the ball floated high into the air.
