Arsenal Has Its Swagger Back And His Name Is Aaron Ramsdale
It’s been quite some time since Arsenal has had any sort of swagger to its game. Having slowly fallen from the upper echelon of the Premier League, the Gunners are experiencing their first season out of Europe in nearly three decades. But led by some shithousing from keeper Aaron Ramsdale, Arsenal looks to have rediscovered its confidence.
Kepa Is Proving Dominant In The Penalty Saving Department With His Fourth Stop In This Season Alone
Kepa Arrizabalaga has proven himself as Chelsea’s greatest secret weapon. Edouard Mendy is Chelsea’s No. 1 goalkeeper, but Blues fans wouldn’t want anyone else in goal for a shootout than Kepa. How many penalty saves does Kepa have for Chelsea you might ask?
The Spaniard denied Theo Walcott on Tuesday in a penalty shootout during a Carabao Cup clash to bring his number of penalties saved with Chelsea to 10 (eight during shootouts, two during regular time). Kepa is Chelsea’s all-time leader in shootout saves passing Petr Cech this season.
Keeper Red-Carded For Attacking Teammate After Conceding Late Equalizer
Aaron McCarey, the goalkeeper of Irish Premiership team Glentoran, received a red card for striking teammate Bobby Burns during a 2-2 draw with Coleraine on Saturday.
After Coleraine's Cathair Friel scored the equalizer 80 minutes into the game, 29-year-old McCarey lashed out and raced towards defender Burns, causing him to fall to the ground.
Club Over Country? Donnarumma Gets The Cold Shoulder In His Return To The San Siro
Less than two months ago Gianluigi Donnarumma was an Italian hero. His save on Bukayo Saka's decisive penalty kick during the Euro 2020 final clinched a shootout victory for gli Azzurri and gave Italy its first European Championship since 1968.
Yet three days later he was out the door. After months of failed contract negotiations between Donnarumma and AC Milan, the 22-year-old keeper and his exorbitant wage demands headed to PSG on a five-year deal.
Porto Goalkeeper Is The Saddest Man In Football Chasing Firmino’s Slow-Rolling Shot In Vain
If you’re like most of the football world on Tuesday, you were focused on the battle between the world’s two richest sides, PSG and Manchester City. As sad as Bernardo Silva was after his miss in that match, there was no one sadder on Tuesday than Diogo Costa, the Porto goalkeeper who was caught disastrously out of position by Roberto Firmino.
Rob Green’s Deformed Finger Shows Goalkeepers Truly Are A Different Breed
"Goalkeepers are a different breed," as the old adage goes, but what exactly makes the pair of keepers different from the other 20 players on the pitch?
The ability to use their hands is what formally sets these shot-stoppers apart, yet I'd argue that the biggest distinction between keepers and field players is their mindsets on the pitch.
There's a certain mentality you need to have to be able to succeed as a goalkeeper, and it requires you to disregard your body and do whatever it takes to keep the ball out of the net.
Watch: Villa Keeper Taunts Ronaldo To Take PK Before Fernandes’ Epic Miss
Emi Martínez became an absolute legend during this summer’s Copa América. As Argentina’s keeper, he taunted and shithoused his way to a shootout victory over Colombia in the semifinals on the way to helping Lionel Messi claim his first major international trophy. On Saturday, Martínez was back at it, taunting Cristiano Ronaldo before the last-minute Bruno Fernandes penalty vs Aston Villa flew into the Old Trafford faithful.
Después de 1.004 Días, Memo Ochoa Vuelve A Atajar Un Penal Y América Va A La Final De La Concachampions
