The nominations for the Premier League’s Save of the Month award have been extended to David Raya’s two outstanding saves in our victories over Wolves and Aston Villa.

Our goalie’s heroics in goal have put him on the shortlist for the Player of the Month award, along with Bukayo Saka. However, the two incredible saves he made to deny Ollie Watkins and Jorgen Strand Larsen were voted as two of the best six saves from the first month of the season, and they could also win an award.

Strand Larsen’s header appeared destined for the net on the first day of play against Wolves, but our Spaniard was able to shift his body weight and get a glove on the effort to retain his clean sheet.

Raya stops Wolves with a fantastic save.A week later, against Aston Villa, he once again shown his skill as a deflected shot sent him racing towards his goalline. The ball then ricocheted off the crossbar and fell to Watkins. The England striker was set to score, but David leaped up to tip away his header from what appeared to be a helpless position on his goalline.

Raya pulls off an amazing save to deny VillaThe four contenders for the honour are Ederson, who stopped a curling attempt by Crysencio Sumerville, Alphonse Areola, who stopped Kevin de Bruyne, Arijanet Muric, who made a spectacular stop to stop Erling Haaland from netting, and Brighton’s Mark Flekken.

Up until Monday, September 9 at noon, you can choose any of David’s saves. Don’t forget to support David or Bukayo to win Player of the Month; Mikel Arteta is a candidate for Manager of the Month.
