The Premier League officially announced that Arsenal midfielder Martin Zubimendi's volley against Nottingham Forest won the Premier League Goal of the Month award for September 2025.

This marks the first time an Arsenal player has won this honor since December 2021. Zubimendi's highlight moment came in the 32nd minute of the match at the Emirates Stadium. Teammate Noni Madouke's corner kick was cleared to the top of the penalty area by the opposing defender. Zubimendi didn't even wait for the ball to hit the ground before volleying it perfectly into the net.

This goal not only helped Arsenal secure victory, but also won Zuvemendi double honors. After the club's best goal, he received another official award from the Premier League.

Zubemendi's strike beat several contenders, including teammate Gabriel Martinelli's lob against Manchester City, Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch's powerful strike against Everton, and stunning strikes from Crystal Palace's Tyrick Mitchell and Leeds United's Anton Stach.

This is also the third time Arsenal has won the award since the Premier League established the award. The previous two winners were Aaron Ramsey's goal against Fulham in 2018 and Alexandre Lacazette's teamwork goal against Southampton in 2021.

It's worth mentioning that several Arsenal players performed well this month. Martinelli was voted "Goal of the Month" by viewers of BBC Match of the Day, while Olivia Smith won the Women's Super League Goal of the Month award for her long-range strike against the London Lionesses.
