The Algerian’s curling strike, which helped City to a 3-2 Carabao Cup win at the Etihad Stadium, came out on top in a fan vote.
Picking up play from Rodrigo‘s lofted pass from a tight angle inside the area, a sensational first touch knocked the ball back onto Mahrez‘s favoured left foot.
Wrongfooting Andrew Robertson in the process, the winger curled home into the far corner of the Liverpool net with typical style and quality soon after the restart.
It was a goal befitting the first game back at the Etihad since the World Cup break, and helped City en route to an important win in our quest to claim the Carabao Cup.
It’s the first time that Mahrez has won the award this season, with his most recent success coming in March 2022 for an unstoppable volley against Manchester United.
Congratulations to Riyad on claiming the Nissan Goal of the Month for December.
