COLCHESTER United midfielder Arthur Read has won the Sky Bet League Two Goal of the Month award for November.
The U's midfielder's fine solo effort in their 1-1 draw with Sutton United at the JobServe Community Stadium last month has scooped the monthly divisional accolade.
Read switched direction to seat one Sutton defender on his backside and did it again to send two others plus goalkeeper Dean Bouzanis heading for the corner flag before curling home.

Read said: “I was happy with the goal, to beat a few players and then it was a tidy finish. I’m trying to bring different attributes to the games, scoring different types of goals to become a more rounded midfielder.
"There’s always room for improvement and at the start of the season it was definitely something I wanted to add to my game.
"I’ve done that a bit more this season, so hopefully I can get a few more.”
Lead Sky Bet EFL Goal of the Month judge and Sky Sports Pundit Don Goodman said: “League Two brought us a real range of stunning goals in November, and Arthur Read’s strike was the best of the lot.
“He had the Sutton defence scrambling as he turned left and right, before calmly finishing into the bottom corner. He had so much to when he received the ball, beautiful goal.”

The winners of the Sky Bet EFL Goals of the Month were selected by a panel of experts and a public vote.
The panel comprises Sky Sports’ EFL experts Don Goodman and former Colchester midfielder David Prutton.
