Rangers goal hero goes head-to-head with Man Utd star in official UEFA poll

Vaclav Cerny's goal against FCSB at Ibrox has been singled out in UEFA's Europa League 'Goal of the Day' poll, alongside Manchester United star Cristian Eriksen.

Posted to the competition's official X (formerly Twitter) account, the first of Cerny's brace – which made it 2-0 to Rangers, on a night they'd hit four without reply – has been hand-picked alongside the Utd man's goal in a 1-1 draw with Fenerbahce.

Roma's Baris Alper Yilmaz also features having hit the net against Elfsborg; so too does Bodo Glimt's Villads Nielson, whose 94th minute goal saw his side overcome Braga 2-1 away from home.

If you feel like casting your vote, you do so via the Europa League app – or head to the post's replies to share your thoughts:

Speaking after the full-time whistle, the Rangers Reviews' Chris Jack said this of Cerny's input on the night:

"The opening goal was carved out by Cerny as a neat touch in the right channel was followed by a cutback to the edge of the area. The strike from Lawrence could have been crisper but it mattered little as he took his tally for the term to five.

"The effort from Cerny that doubled the lead was certainly a lot sweeter. The Czech capitalised on more slack Bucharest play to win the ball in the final third and then produced a lovely right-foot finish that curled inside Stefan Tarnovanu’s post. It was a moment that Cerny is capable of producing more often."
