Ameobi Wins Championship Goal Of The Month Award

Nottingham Forest winger Sammy Ameobi has been voted the Sky Bet Championship Goal of the Month winner for January.

Ameobi picked up the award for his second goal in the 3-1 win over Millwall at The City Ground when he played a one-two with Alex Mighten on the right-hand side before cutting inside and sending a superb shot into the top corner.

“It’s a great feeling, it was a good team goal starting with Brice [Samba] and Alex [Mighten] so yeah, I’m really pleased with this award,”Ameobi told the club website.

“I was feeling quite tired at the time, to be honest! But I saw Alex coming in so I thought maybe I could get a one-two from him and I didn’t think I’d hit it first time. But he set it off so nicely that I just had to whip it and it went in.

“I’ve got a couple now so it’s always nice and hopefully long may it continue.

“I’m feeling good now, I was back training from the end of last week and I think the manager just wanted me to get a bit of fitness and training under my belt before I came back in and hopefully that’ll be sooner rather than later.

“We’ve been picking up some good results and we’ve been playing really well as of late and it’s starting to show. We’ve been really unlucky with a couple of games including Swansea away but the more we play like that, the more results we’ll pick up moving forward.”
