Reina's Save Last Night...

[Leo No.8]

...from Heskey's point-blank header last night was one of the best I've seen 'live'.

 

He had moved to come for the cross, but as it swung away and the ball came to Heskey just 5 yards out, he had to adjust his footing and fling himself across the goal to push it wide.

 

Even then he had to have strong hands to get enough purchase on it to divert the ball round the post, and Heskey had plenty of power in the header.

 

Only topped for me by Schmeichel's save for City from Diouf in his last season.

 

Brilliant Pepe lad - forgotten a bit now because of what happened after, but by all rights should have been a match-winning save. 23 years old? What a keeper he is going to be if he's this good at such a young age for his position.
