Dúbravka shortlisted for Premier League Save of the Season award
The Slovakian international's superb stop from close range denied Jorgen Stand Larsen in the Magpies' 3-0 win over Wolves in January, with the 36-year-old doing brilliantly to divert the forward's effort onto the crossbar with his left foot. Dúbravka's save was voted Save of the Month, and will now go up against the other monthly winners for the overall 2024/25 award. Advertisement Also in the running are David Raya of Arsenal, Kepa Arrizabalaga of Bournemouth and Manchester United's Andre Onana - who each have two nominations - as well as Chelsea's Robert Sanchez, Tottenham Hotspur's Guglielmo Vicario and Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez. "It is extra special because the whole preparation for the game pays off at that moment. You know that you did something right during the week," Dúbravka said of his save in January. "It's not just that save, but it's repetitions. You're constantly working during during the week on the opponent and you try to replicate it - and in a situation like this you're happy. "I tried to prepare myself for a tap-in, and just spread myself to try to react. Then Sven (Botman) tackled me at the same time! So I was happy that I could make the save, but at the same time I was sore because he smashed my hamstring from behind!
