Barnsley's Adam Armstrong has won the Sky Bet Championship Goal of the Month award for September.
The striker, on loan from Newcastle, won 44 per cent of the vote for his brilliant strike on debut against Preston.
"You couldn't see a better debut goal anywhere in the world," said Goal of the Month judge and Sky Sports pundit Don Goodman.
"The skill involved is out of this world and had it been Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, this goal would be global already."
Armstrong, who scored 20 goals on loan at Coventry last season, added: "I'm delighted to win the award.
"It happened on my debut as well which makes it even more special and it's definitely up there with one of my best goals.
"I'm loving it here at Barnsley. Coming in on loan and adapting to a new environment has been massive for my development.
"All of the lads are great, we've had a strong start to the season and it's a really positive place to be at the moment."
AFC Wimbledon winger Dom Poleon won the award in League One for his fantastic solo effort against Charlton.
"I remember Dannie Bulman giving the ball to me and I just thought I would try and get at them," said Poleon. "I saw there were two of them and I managed to do a bit of happy feet to get through the middle, before toe poking it underneath the keeper.
"We happened to win as well so that was good.
"As a striker you want to try and score goals, but more importantly I'm happy that we got the result. I scored a screamer last season against Sheffield United, but this is up there and maybe my second best goal."
In League Two, Accrington Stanley's Paddy Lacey scooped the award for his strike against Portsmouth.
"At first glances this looks like a typical long-range hit-and-hope attempt from Lacey, but what makes it really impressive is the composure he shows," said Goodman.
"Lacey controls the ball with his left foot and, while under pressure, does a full 360-degree turn to take him away from an onrushing defender before finding the pace, trajectory and accuracy from distance to beat a keeper who had a good starting position and find the top corner.
"He'll do well to score a more spectacular goal in his career."
