    EPL: De Gea wins Premier League Golden Glove award

    Manchester United goalkeeper, David De Gea has won the Golden glove award in the premier League in the season 2022/23.

    De Gea kept his 16th clean sheet against Bournemouth On Saturday afternoon at the Vitality stadium, Manchester United won 1-0 courtesy of Casemiro’s goal.

    De Gea’s closest rival Liverpool’s Allison conceded a goal in the 1-1 draw against Aston Villa at Anfield to set up the Spaniard up as the clear favourite.

    Newcastle’s Nick Pope and Arsenal star Aaron Ramsdale, both have 13 clean sheets and have two matches left.

    It is just the second time De Gea has won the Golden Glove, which he last claimed in 2017/2018.

    The 32-year-old has been able to keep United from conceding in almost half of their league games.

  • Liverpool goalkeeper scores injury-time goal to secure win

    Goalkeeper Alisson scored an incredible injury-time winner as Liverpool claimed a significant victory in their quest to achieve a Premier League top-four finish by coming from behind to beat West Brom.

    With three points a must and just seconds left of a game in which the visitors had been frustrated by an obstinate and disciplined Baggies, the Brazilian keeper came up for a corner.

    It was surely the Reds’ final chance to snatch the win and so it proved as Alisson rose to glance Trent Alexander-Arnold’s delivery into the far corner of the net to send the away side into delirium.

    In an example of extraordinary timing, it is the first time a goalkeeper has scored a competitive goal for Liverpool in their entire history, dating back to 1892.

    The stunning moment takes the Reds just a point and a place behind Chelsea in fourth and three points worse off than third-placed Leicester with two games to go.

    That the Blues and Foxes face each other in their next league game gives Jurgen Klopp’s side a huge opportunity to take control of their own destiny in the race for Champions League qualification when they travel to Burnley on Wednesday.

  • Liverpool agree world record fee for Brazilian goalkeeper

    Liverpool agree world record fee for Brazilian goalkeeper

    Liverpool have offered Roma a world record transfer fee for a goalkeeper of £62million in a bid to land Alisson Becker.

    The Premier League club are now expected to hold talks with the Brazil international.

    The 25-year-old has been at Roma for two years, and played 37 Serie A games last season, after starting his career at Brazilian side Internacional.

    Liverpool’s bid, which is 70m euros, would overtake the current record for a keeper – 53m euros paid by Juventus to Parma for Gianluigi Buffon in 2001.

    The Premier League record for a keeper is the 40m euros Manchester City paid Benfica for Ederson in June 2017.

    Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was forced to defend goalkeeper Loris Karius last week after another mistake – this time in a pre-season friendly against Tranmere.

    The 25-year-old German spilled a free-kick that allowed the hosts to score in Liverpool’s 3-2 win at Prenton Park.

    Karius was at fault for two goals in Liverpool’s 3-1 defeat by Real Madrid in the Champions League final, but it was later found that he had concussion.

    Alisson played all five games, keeping three clean sheets, as Brazil were knocked out at the quarter-final stage of the World Cup by Belgium.
