Kaoru Mitoma has won April's Guinness Goal of the Month for his incredible goal against Tottenham Hotspur.

Brighton & Hove Albion's Japanese winger wins the award for the third time since its inception in 2016/17 to equal the record currently held by Bruno Fernandes and Andros Townsend.

With Brighton set to go in behind at half-time to Spurs, Mitoma produced an outstanding strike in the third minute of stoppage time to level the score.

He lashed a thunderous volley into the roof of the net with his weaker foot after being found at the back post by Pascal Gross.

Mitoma becomes the first Brighton player to win an award this season, and the first in exactly a year after his team-mate Carlos Baleba won April 2025's Guinness Goal of the Month.

Mitoma's strike topped a shortlist of eight April goals following votes from the public and a panel of experts.
