The Premier League Goal of the Month is an association football award that recognises the player who is deemed to have scored the best Premier League goal each month of the season from August to April. The winner is chosen by a combination of an online public vote, which contributes to 10% of the final tally, and a panel of experts. [1]
At the end of the season, the nine monthly winners are put forward for the Premier League Goal of the Season, which is chosen using the same method, although the 2016–17 award featured, and indeed was won by, a goal from May which did not go to a vote. [2]
The award was introduced for the 2016–17 season and is currently known by its sponsored name, the Budweiser Goal of the Month.
The first recipient of the award was Middlesbrough striker Cristhian Stuani for his away goal against Sunderland. Pedro was the first player to have won the award multiple times, while Andros Townsend was the first player to have won it three times, and the first to achieve it with different clubs. Thanks to Miguel Almirón (April 2022) and Allan Saint-Maximin (August 2022), Newcastle United was first club to have consecutive winners, while Wolverhampton Wanderers was the first to do it in the same season, with Jonny and Matheus Nunes winning March and April 2023 awards respectively. In the 2023–24 season, Manchester United became the first club to win four Goal of the Month awards, all scored by different players.
As of April 2024 [update] , the most recent recipient of the award is Chelsea player Cole Palmer.

The Premier League Manager of the Month is an association football award that recognises the best adjudged Premier League manager each month of the season. The winner is chosen by a combination of an online public vote, which contributes to 10% of the final tally, and a panel of experts. It has been called the Carling Premiership Manager of the Month (1993–2001) and the Barclaycard Premiership Manager of the Month (2001–2004); it is currently known as the Barclays Manager of the Month.
The Goal of the Month is a monthly segment on BBC's Match of the Day television programme, in honour of the best goal scored each month. The segment has been featured on the programme since the 1970–71 season. Typically, a selection of eight or ten goals from the month are shown before the Goal of the Month is decided. Until the 2006–07 season, viewers were given the chance to win a prize by selecting the correct winner and the winner would be decided by a vote firstly by post then by text and phone votes. For the majority of the 2007–08 season, the BBC did not allow any competitions due to a money-for-competitions-entry scandal, but towards the end of the season and for the goal of the season competition, normal service was resumed. When Match of the Day moved to Match of the Day 2 when Colin Murray presented the winner was decided by the subjective opinion of one of the pundits, such as Alan Hansen, Mark Lawrenson or Alan Shearer. From October 2013, BBC Match of the Day 2 viewers have picked the Goal of the Month in a poll conducted by voting on the BBC Sport website or sending the hashtag of the viewers favourite goal via Twitter.
