Lingard was rewarded with the goal award for his excellent strike against Wolves. He picked up the ball ten yards into his own half before proceeding on an unstoppable run that ended with a fine strike that Portugal international shot stopper Rui Patricio had no chance of saving in the Wolves goal. Lingard was the recipient of the opening goal as West Ham secured a 3-2 away win over Wolves at the start of the month under review.
