The game’s on a knife-edge and Vicente Guaita sprawls to his right to get his hands to the ball flying towards him. It’s not Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah he’s denied and it’s not Jordan Ayew in training.
This time, VG’s impeccable positioning and reliable reach frustrate the left-footed strike of his nine-year-old son. Not defending a Premier League net, he’s defending the paintwork and furniture of his south London home - and, as you’d expect, letting nothing past him.
Few would have been able to predict the season Vicente Guaita is having. Nine clean sheets on the board - more than any other Spanish goalkeeper in Premier League – and just 28 goals conceded.
