Last season's Match of the Day goal of the season competition had an unlikely victor.

The award was won by Jack Wilshere for his final day effort against West Bromwich Albion, with many suggestion Arsenal fans had hijacked the voting process. https://twitter.com/RyanHeatly/status/604292197698129920 https://twitter.com/tomwfootball/status/602612041258532864 https://twitter.com/domnozahic/status/602790527751352320 https://twitter.com/CombMyAfro/status/603880651801161728 https://twitter.com/Greenie_VCFC/status/603607611217412096 But there's no chance of the same thing happening again this time around, and it's not just because Wilshere is yet to find the net this season. According to Metro, there will be no public vote for the 2015/16 award, with producers instead deciding to let a panel of experts have the final say. That's not to say an Arsenal player won't win again, mind you, though Wilshere will need to produce something very special against Aston Villa to make it three in a row.
