    Due to his incredible save during Arsenal’s thrilling 2-2 draw with Liverpool at Anfield, Aaron Ramsdale has been awarded the Castrol Save of the Month title for a second consecutive month.

    In April, the Arsenal starting goalie was at the top of his game to deny Mohamed Salah a signature goal that would have given his team a crucial point against Liverpool.

    In the closing seconds of a hotly contested encounter on April 9, Ramsdale stretched to jump across his goal line and touch a deflected curling attempt from the Liverpool star barely around the post.

    Ramsdale has become the first goalie to win the Castrol Save of the Month award twice. The English goalkeeper also won the award in March after a spectacular save to deny Dango Ouattara what appeared to be a definite goal in Arsenal’s 3-2 triumph against Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium.

    Ramsdale is now just the second player to have won the Castrol Save of the Month twice in a single season, joining Nick Pope, who did it in August and January.

    The 2022–23 season has seen an overall English goalkeeper dominance, with Ramsdale, Pope, and Jordan Pickford taking home the trophy in five of the first eight months of the campaign.

    David de Gea, Lukasz Fabianski, Daniel Iversen, Kepa Arrizabalaga, and Bernd Leno were all up for the April award.
