The exceptional talent of the Petrovic, the 24-year-old goalkeeper has earned him a well-deserved nomination for the best save in December. His remarkable display of skill during the final minutes at Kenilworth Road, where he made a spectacular stop against Luton Town, has placed him among the top six nominees.
Petrovic’s sharp reflexes proved vital in securing a win for Chelsea by denying Carlton Morris from close range. Despite breaking free from his marker, Morris was unable to score due to Petrovic’s exceptional save, which tipped the ball onto the crossbar. This prevented the Hatters from making a comeback and ensured Chelsea’s victory with a score of 3-2.
The Serbian player had a remarkable month in December. He made his debut for Chelsea as a substitute against Everton, and in the following game, he started for the first time, keeping a clean sheet against Sheffield United. This performance showed that he has a lot of potential and is a valuable addition to the team.
Thanks to a crucial save in the Carabao Cup quarter-final penalty shoot-out against Newcastle, Chelsea confidently secured their spot in the semi-finals of the competition.
Petrovic stands proudly on the Premier League Save of the Month award shortlist, along with five other remarkable nominees: Wes Foderingham (Sheff Utd.), Allison Becker (Liverpool), Dean Henderson (Crystal Palace), Jordan Pickford (Everton), and Guglielmo Vicario (Tottenham).
