Pepe strike named Arsenal Goal of the Month for October

Nicolas Pepe's strike against Dundalk has been named the best Arsenal goal for the month of October.

The effort was one of two goals scored by the Ivory Coast star last month, while the other - the match-winning strike in their 2-1 win over Sheffield United - was ranked second after a poll on the club website.

After goals from Eddie Nketiah and Joe Willock gave the Gunners a 2-0 lead at half-time, Pepe sealed the victory at Emirates Stadium with a curling strike immediately after the restart.

The Dundalk goal claimed 38 per cent of the total votes to win the honour while his solo strike against Sheffield United on October 4 gathered 23 per cent of the vote.
