RYAN Leonard’s strike at Sheffield United has been voted the Echo’s Southend United goal of the season.
The midfielder netted an impressive volley from 25 yards at Bramall Lane last November.
And the effort, which eventually caught the eye of pop star Justin Bieber due to the celebrations, picked up 70 per cent of the votes.
Jack Payne’s solo effort at home to Sheffield United finished second, with Michael Timlin’s long range shot at Barnsley coming third.
Leonard received his award from Echo readers Dave and Sam Goody before Saturday’s game with Bradford City.
