Lorenz Assignon's inventive effort for Rennes against AEK Larnaca on Matchday 1 has been voted goal of the 2022/23 UEFA Europa League in a fan poll.
Assignon's strike was neck and neck with Pedro Gonçalves's long-range finish against Arsenal for Sporting CP – the UEFA Technical Observer panel's choice for best goal – before a late surge. Incredibly, it remains the only first-team goal the defender, 22, has scored.
The poll featured the top ten goals of the 2022/23 competition as selected by UEFA's Technical Observer panel, which were then put to a vote.
