Brandt strike nominated for 'Goal of the Month'

With an assist from Charles Aránguiz, Brandt hit the ball from the edge of the box on 55 minutes with a powerful shot that flew into the top left corner. Following Kai Havertz' nomination for April Goal of the Month that saw him finish runner-up to the winner Matheus Cunha from RB Leipzig, the vote includes a Werkself player for the second time in succession. Since last Saturday, 1 June, it has been possible to vote for Julian Brandt (still a Leverkusen player) on the Sportschau website.

Voting is open to Sunday 16 June  (midnight). In addition to the strike from our number 10, the other options for May are the goals scored by Franck Ribéry (Bayern Munich), Maximilian Wolfram (Carl Zeiss Jena), Cihan Özkara (Rot-Weiß Oberhausen) and Nadiem Amiri (TSG 1899 Hoffenheim).
