Aston Villa's John McGinn has won the Championship goal of the month award for September.

The midfielder's stunning volley against Sheffield Wednesday saw him earn more than 50% of the votes in a public poll.

McGinn said: "I have never scored a goal like that before.

“When I noticed the ball had hit the bar I thought it was going to stay out, but thankfully it happened to catch the roof of the net and I was over the moon.

“As soon as you hit it you just know it is going in - it is probably the best I’ve ever struck a ball.

“Obviously with it being at the Holte End as well makes it extra special."
