Cristhian Stuani's strike for Middlesbrough against Sunderland is named as the Premier League Goal of the Month for August.

Middlesbrough striker Cristhian Stuani has won the Premier League Goal of the Month award for August.

In Boro's showdown with Sunderland on the second weekend of the season, Stuani picked up the ball on the right-hand side of the pitch before unleashing an unstoppable effort that found the top corner of Vito Mannone's net.

Stuani later added a second in the first half as Aitor Karanka's team registered a 2-1 success at the Stadium of Light.

The Uruguayan fought off competition from Philippe Coutinho, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Jamie Vardy to win the accolade.
