De Gea's best saves as he claims 2022/23 Golden Glove

Evan Ferguson has epitomised a sensational season for Brighton & Hove Albion in which they have secured European football for the first time in their history.

The 18-year-old striker netted twice in their 3-1 success over Southampton, as the club all but secured a top-six finish and a place in the UEFA Europa League.

The brace took Ferguson's tally to six Premier League goals for the season, twice as many as any other teenager, and earned him a place in the Team of the Week selected by Alan Shearer, the competition's record goalscorer and Hall of Fame inductee.

“A worthy winner of this season’s Golden Glove, as he showed by making two great saves against Bournemouth.”

Joe Worrall (NFO)
“Played a huge part in keeping Nottingham Forest up, playing a key role in the clean sheet in the 1-0 win over Arsenal.”

Yerry Mina (EVE)
“That could be the most important touch he produces this season with that stoppage-time equaliser against Wolves.”

Ben Mee (BRE)
