Tope Olusesi polled a total of 3621 votes to win the matchday 20 VAT wonder goal award.
A combined total of 5400 votes were recorded on the Twitter handle and website of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), the highest ever since the inception of the VAT wonder goal award.
For the first time, the votes on the website were more than those from Twitter.
Olusesi, Rangers FC player, beat Ikechukwu Nwani of Nasarawa United who had a total of 1537 votes.
Nyima Nwagua of Kano Pillars finished in third place with combined votes of 155 ahead of Chidi Nwachukwu of Rivers United whose total came to 87 votes.
“This is a major turning point for the online polls”, said Niyi Oyeleke, production manager at SuperSports.
“It demonstrates that interest is not only rising on the league but also on the VAT wonder goal offering.
“It is a milestone to be built on in growing followership for the league and can help in marketing the league through data mining if the profile of the voters can be obtained”.
Olusesi thus becomes the second Rangers player to win the award this season.
