Tottenham's Victor Wanyama scores their first goal against Liverpool.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Victor Wanyama has been awarded the Premier League goal of the month trophy for his stunning long-range strike in the 2-2 draw at Liverpool on February 4th.

Substitute Wanyama triggered a breathtaking end to Spurs' fixture with Liverpool, firing home a jaw-dropping half-volley into the top corner to draw the game level at 1-1.

It was Wanyama’s goal that favored the winner of  Ksh230 million SportsPesa mega jackpot Gordon Ogada’s prediction.

Ogada was hoping for a draw but was not sure before a friend called him to inform him that the midfielder had scored.

“On my way home a friend of mine called and told me that, Wanyama had scored for Spurs, keeping alive my slip,” Ogada revealed last month.
