Chelsea goalie wins the save of the season

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arizabalaga has won the Save of the Season award.

The Spaniard was able to win the award after he beat off some strong competition with his save against Jacob Ramsey, in a game the Blues won 2-0 at Villa Park thanks to a brace from Mason Mount.

It was a stunning reaction stop from Kepa to deny the Aston Villa midfielder, diving low to his right to tip the shot away after firstly keeping out John McGinn’s initial effort.

Kepa had also won the October Save of the Month award for the stop.

The Blues goalie defeated Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsdale and Newcastle’s Nick Pope, who both had two entries in the eight-strong nominations list, as well as Gavin Bazunu of Southampton, Manchester United’s David De Gea and Everton and England stopper, Jordan Pickford.

Meanwhile, Kepa has been linked with a move away from Chelsea this summer as the reports named him among the many players that could leave Stamford Bridge.
