Peterborough United midfielder retains his League One goal-of-the-month prize
Ward’s last-minute winning goal against Burton received 46% of a public vote to claim the November prize. Ward also won the October prize for a goal at Gillingham.
Ward said: “It is great to have won the Goal of the Month award for the second successive month. This particular goal was a special one, probably my favourite, not just because of the strike but the fact it won us the three points so late in the game. It sat up lovely for me and it was special seeing it rifle into the top corner.”

Ward beat off competition from Rotherham United’s Matt Crooks and Coventry City’s Liam Walsh.
