WATCH: Congratulations Rachel Daly! England and Aston Villa star wins WSL Goal of the Month for unstoppable strike against West Ham

Daly's superbly-taken, injury-time winner against West Ham last month was voted by fans to be November's Goal of the Month. Last season's Golden Boot winner kept her cool to fire Maz Pacheco's knockdown into the top-right corner of the Hammers net to give Villa all three points back on November 19.

It's been quite week for Daly, who watched on from the bench at Hampden Park as England routed Scotland on Tuesday night. It appeared the Lionesses had done enough to win their Nations League group, but those hopes were cruelly extinguished by a last-gasp Netherlands goal which also meant Great Britain would not qualify for next summer's Olympics.

Club and international team-mates attempted to raise Daly's spirits when she celebrated her birthday on Wednesday and Friday's recognition will also go some way to cheering up last season's WSL Player of the Year.

Daly and her Villa team-mates face a trip up the M6 this weekend where they take on third-placed Manchester City on Saturday afternoon.
