Gera wins Euro 2016 fans' Goal of the Tournament award

Zoltan Gera's amazing strike in Hungary's 3-3 draw with competition winners Portugal has been voted as Euro 2016 Goal of the Tournament by fans.

The former Fulham and West Bromwich Albion midfielder opened the scoring in superb style as he thrashed a half-volley past Rui Patricio in the goal-laden clash in Lyon.

Balazs Dzsudzsak and Cristiano Ronaldo both scored twice while Nani also found the net in the memorable 3-3 stalemate between the two teams.
