PRZEMYSLAW Placheta has been nominated for the Sky Bet Championship goal of the month award for December.

The Oxford United winger has been shortlisted for his 30-yard wonder goal in the 3-2 win at home against Cardiff City on Boxing Day.

United were already 2-0 up just before the hour mark, when Placheta collected the ball on the right wing and drifted infield before unleashing a rocket which flew into the near top corner.

Placheta is shortlisted alongside Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Barry Bannan, Burnley attacker Zian Flemming and Leeds United playmaker Brenden Aaronson.

U’s supporters can vote for Placheta via the Football League website before 5pm on Monday.

Votes will be combined with the choices from a panel, and the winner will be announced next Friday.
