Had very similar issue after completing my 172 rating, the answer, i was still flying..
Came in fast-ish bit of a Xwind but nothing serious, Unfamiliar with the cockpit and was selecting flaps ready for go round, had my head in the cockpit for a second looked up and saw runway lights very close by!!!! Full power and go around still sideways.
All three wheels were in touch with tarmac but a higher than normal arrival speed plus side wind meant my dabs at the breaks and rudder control were not going to do much with it being light on the wheels
Scared the hell out of me, i stuck the next landing and went home... i know when to quit!
