Modibo Maiga’s goal vs Bournemouth has been voted West Ham’s Goal of the Month for August 2015. Maiga came on as a 73rd minute substitute for Diafra Sakho in that game, and scored in the 82nd minute. West Ham lost the game 4-3.

Maiga’s goal v Bournemouth beat off competition from Dimitri Payet’s strike v Leicester City (15 August) and Mauro Zarate’s goal against Arsenal (9 August). Other contenders were Sakho (v Werder Bremen), Kouyate (v Arsenal) and Sakho again (v Liverpool)
