Algeria's Said Benrahma scoops Brentford Goal of the Season prize

Algeria winger Said Benrahma has won Brentford's Goal of the Season award.

Benrahma’s first goal in their 5-1 win over Hull City on February 23 beat off competition from his teammates to receive the prize at the club's end of the season dinner event.

During the league outing against the Tigers and with the game tied at 1-1, the 23-year-old received a pass from Moses Odubanjo before curling his effort into the top corner.

He later went on to score a hat-trick in the fixture and his maiden effort goal was also named the Championship Goal of the Month for February.

A knee injury against Reading on April 13 prematurely ended his debut season in England, which saw him produce 11 goals and 17 assists in 45 matches across all competitions.

Despite his impressive displays for Brentford, Benrahma has been ruled out of Algeria's campaign at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt due to injury.

The Desert Foxes are up against Senegal, Kenya and Tanzania in Group C of the continental showpiece.
