IT'S JOY FOR JOSH, SAM AND GEORGE

Sheffield Wednesday attacking midfielder Windass bagged the Championship prize for his incredible New Year's Day goal in the 4-2 win against Derby.

The 31-year-old was well inside his own half as he launched a blockbuster shot that whizzed through the air and landed perfectly inside the Rams' net.

Lead Sky Bet EFL Goal of the Month judge Don Goodman said: "It took vision, technique, and inch-perfect accuracy for the lob to clear the keeper and drop under the crossbar. You will be hard-pressed to see a better goal this season!"
