A superb team effort which involved all 11 Newcastle players straight from kick-off. Perez finished the move with a powerful volley without Ipswich getting a single touch.

Lead Sky Bet EFL Goal of the Month judge and Sky Sports Pundit Don Goodman said: “As team goals go, this is up there with the very best.

“What an incredible start to the match for all of your players to have touched the ball, with 20 consecutive passes and be 1-0 up within one minute.

“Perez’s finish looked easy, but that technique, with the ball coming down across his body is harder than it seems and the power that he got behind the shot left the keeper with absolutely no chance."

Perez beat off competition from Aston Villa’s Jonathan Kodjia and Norwich City’s Wes Hoolahan.
