Kepa Arrizabalaga has won the 2022/23 Castrol Save of the Season award.
The Chelsea goalkeeper claims the prize for his brilliant reaction to deny Jacob Ramsey in a 2-0 win at Aston Villa.
After parrying John McGinn's shot into the path of Ramsey, Kepa dived low to his right to push the midfielder's powerful follow-up on to a post and away from goal.

It was one of eight Castrol Saves of the Month over the course of the campaign that were shortlisted for the Save of the Season award.
Kepa wins the award after receiving the most combined votes from the public and a panel of football experts.
His save beat those of Nick Pope, Gavin Bazunu, David De Gea, Aaron Ramsdale and, last season's winner, Jordan Pickford.
