Doncaster Rovers man up for EFL monthly goal award after "perfection" strike

Doncaster Rovers midfielder Elliot Lee is in the running for the League One goal of the month award for March.

The Wrexham loanee scored a textbook volley in the game down at Plymouth Argyle back on March 7. Sadly, Rovers ended up losing that game 2-1 but it didn't take away from a spectacular strike - Lee's first since joining the club until the end of the season.

Lee is on a four-man shortlist and will be up against Cardiff's Alex Robertson, Burton's George Evans and Reading's Kamari Doyle.

Describing Lee's goal, the EFL says: "After sending over the initial cross, Lee kept his eye on the ball as it dropped in his direction. Trouble was, he was facing away from goal, but still timed his looping volley to perfection."
