Rachid Ghezzal nominated for Leicester City's Goal of the Month prize

Rachid Ghezzal’s strike against Newport County in the FA Cup has been nominated for Leicester City's Goal of the Month prize for January.

The 26-year-old scored to level for Claude Puel’s men before losing 2-1 to the League Two side as they bowed out of the competition in the third round.

The winger latched home into the top corner from outside the box to register his third goal for the Foxes since joining from Monaco last summer.

Ghezzal will slug it out with teammates Jamie Vardy, Demarai Gray, Wes Morgan and Harry Maguire to clinch the individual award.
