Chelsea’s first choice goalkeeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga was recognized for his efforts by winning the Premier League’s Save of the Season award.
He’s the first Chelsea goalkeeper to earn this recognition, which is only in its second year.
Kepa had strong competition for the award but none of the others managed to impress the voters and a panel of experts more than his triple save against Aston Villa back in October, which helped preserve a precious three points. (Kepa had 7 saves in that game in fact, and a clean sheet, in a 2-0 win.
While weaknesses remain (and some will always remain) in his game, it was nice to see Kepa put his personally most horrible 2019-20 season behind him.
