Pickford has thrown his name into the hat for thePremier League Save of the Season, alongside these superb stops.

Gianluigi Donnarumma vs Manchester United

Much was made aboutManchester City's decision to sign Donnarumma last summer, with some suggesting the Italian was 'not a Pep Guardiola goalkeeper'.

Sure, his distribution might not be up to Ederson's standard (whose is?) but there are few better than the giant goalkeeper when it comes to making saves.

This fabulous full-length dive to deny Bryan Mbeumo in the Manchester Derby was one of many the summer signing has made this season.

Martin Dubravka vs Wolves

Burnley's decision to invest around £2m in Martin Dubravka has been one of the value deals of the season. It might not be enough to keep the Clarets up, but Dubravka has kept Scott Parker's side in several games this season.

Burnley were 3-2 up againstWolves in the 95th minute when the veteran made this vital intervention.

David Raya vs Brighton

David Raya earned a record-equalling thirdPremier League Save of the Month accolade in December, after getting fingertips to Yankuba Minteh's effort against Brighton.

Minteh's strike was destined for the top corner, until the Spaniard stretched to push it over the bar. The latest entry in a stunning catalogue of saves for theArsenal goalkeeper.

Alphonse Areola vs Wolves

Wolves have hardly covered themselves in glory this season but the division's bottom side have also run into some outstanding goalkeeping. Alongside Dubravka's denial, Wolves were left wondering how Tolu Arokodare didn't score here.

Gianluigi Donnarumma vs Liverpool

The big man, again.

In the final seconds of a high-stakes showdown againstLiverpool at Anfield, Donnarumma dived desperately to keep out Alexis Mac Allister's looping effort. A massive moment from the man-mountain which could be crucial in this season's title race.

Jordan Pickford vs Newcastle

Who better to judge the quality of Pickford's save than the man himself? The best of his career, according to the Everton goalkeeper.

"I think that's my best (ever) save that I've done. We talk about moments in games, and to win games, and Tonali has hit an absolute rocket,"he said.

"To get my hand on it... I know it's not top corner, but the reactions. Initially, I think it's a great clearance from Keano, a great header. He just gets right through the ball and Tonali has caught it absolutely sweet. The reaction time, from probably going over Tarky's head, to saving it and it hitting the bar, it felt good."
