August hasn’t been especially kind to Tottenham Hotspur as the new Premier League season gets underway, but there have been some bright moments. Yves Bissouma provided one of the brightest, firing in a long-range shot off the crossbar during Spurs’ 4-0 comprehensive home win over Everton a couple of weeks ago.
And now that goal has been recognized by the Premier League. Bissouma’s banger has been nominated for August’s Goal of the Month.

Bissouma’s goal isn’t a shoo-in, there are some lovely strikes including Chelsea’s Cole Palmer chipping Jose Sá in transition, Wolves’ Jean-Ricner Bellegard vs. Forest, and Southampton’s Yukinari Saginawa one-touch volley against Brentford. There are also the usual couple of filler goals where the goal is secondary to the pass that led to it, like Luis Diaz vs. Brentford, or Jarrod Bowen’s transition strike, but whatever. Goal videos are fun to watch.
You can vote for Biss on the Premier League’s website should you desire; fan votes have a small impact on the award. Honestly, I just wanted to give you all a chance during an international break to watch Yves’ goal again, because it was good and cool.
