Brighton boss Graham Potter hails 'monster' goalkeeper Robert Sanchez as the driving force behind the Seagulls recent revival

Though Brighton are commonly associated with attractive football, their current revival is chiefly due to ‘monster’ goalkeeper Robert Sanchez conceding only twice in six matches.

Sanchez followed up clean sheets against Leeds, Spurs and Liverpool with key saves at Turf Moor to stretch Brighton’s unbeaten run to five.

He also commanded his box to nullify Burnley’s aerial threat — showing why the club let Australian international Mat Ryan join Arsenal.

‘Robert is a monster in terms of his physicality,’ said manager Graham Potter after watching the 23-year-old stop Matej Vydra at point-blank range to deny Burnley the win.
