Shea Lacey, forward for Manchester United, received the Goal of the Month award for September after a strong performance in the EFL Cup. Lacey scored in his first full debut against Brighton, becoming the first United teenager to do so since Marcus Rashford. His left-footed shot came just eight minutes into the match, though Manchester United ultimately lost 3-2 to Brighton, leading to their elimination from the Carabao Cup.
