Jens Cajuste's brilliant finish in Ipswich Town's 4-2 defeat to Nottingham Forest has been nominated for the Premier League's Goal of the Month award for March.

The midfielder picked up a pass from Jack Clarke before spinning past Ryan Yates as he approached the edge of the box, taking aim with a curling shot that looped up into the top right corner.

Cajuste's strike made it 3-1 in the 82nd minute, with Jota Silva and George Hirst both scoring late on as Town were handed their 18th defeat of the campaign.
