WagwanvibesLeeds United midfielder Anton Stach has found himself at the heart of a growing controversy after fans and pundits alike claimed he was “robbed” following the Premier League’s latest Goal of the Month announcement.
The league officially named Arsenal’s Martin Zubimendi as September’s winner for his superb volley against Nottingham Forest. But for many, Stach’s stunning long-range strike against Wolves was the clear standout — a goal that perfectly combined technique, power, and precision.
The German international unleashed a thunderous 30-yard free-kick that flew into the top corner, leaving the goalkeeper rooted to the spot. The goal went viral across social media, earning praise from former players and commentators who labeled it an early Goal of the Season contender.
However, when the Premier League announced Zubimendi as the winner, frustration quickly spread among the Leeds faithful. Supporters flooded social media platforms using hashtags like #StachWasRobbed and #LeedsDeservesBetter, arguing that the voting system continues to favor players from elite clubs.
“You can’t watch that Stach goal and tell me it wasn’t the best of the month,” tweeted one fan. “It’s pure class from a player who’s been consistent all season.”
This sense of injustice comes at a sensitive time, as the Premier League also faces criticism for its controversial financial policy changes. The league recently announced plans to replace its long-standing Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) with a Squad Cost Ratio (SCR) system, which would allow clubs to spend a fixed percentage of their revenue on wages and transfers.
Critics argue that such a move could benefit wealthier clubs while making it even harder for teams like Leeds to compete fairly — both financially and in recognition.
“It feels like everything is designed to favor the top clubs,” said a Leeds supporter outside Elland Road. “From awards to finances, it’s the same story every season.”
Despite the disappointment, Anton Stach remains focused on his performances, stating through club media that he’s more motivated than ever to help Leeds climb higher in the league table. His attitude continues to win admiration from fans who see him as one of the most underrated midfielders in England right now.
For now, the debate continues not just about one award, but about the Premier League’s perceived imbalance between recognition and reality.
