Leeds United academy youngster Dane Burlace has won the League Football Education's Goal of the Month for October.
The under-18 right-back, who penned a scholarship with the Whites earlier this year, had been nominated on a ten-man shortlist for his effort against Bolton Wanderers.
Burlace, who scored a long-range strike in the 4-4 draw, beat out opponent players from the encounter including Joe White, to land the honour for his finish.
LFE made the announcement after the Leeds defender polled first in voting with a 39.77 per cent share of the total cast.
The former Newcastle United youth man was celebrated in a tweet by United, who wrote: "With 39% of the vote, LUFC Academy’s Dane Burlace is the winner of [LFE's] October Goal of the Month.

Leeds' under-18 side has seen mixed fortunes this year so far, having both inflicted a heavy defeat on Birmingham City and lost a 3-2 thriller to Hull City in their last few games.
They now enjoy a run of four home encounters before the new year, with one match to be played under the lights at Elland Road, in their FA Youth Cup rematch against the Tigers next month.
The rest of their fixtures will be at Thorp Arch, starting this Saturday with the visit of Crewe Alexandra.
