Opta's Keeper Capers

After the latest round of games this weekend in The Premier League, Opta have assessed the performances of the top-flight goalkeepers and reveal who gave the best and worst goalkeeping displays according to their unique statistical analysis.

Chelsea’s perfect away record came to an abrupt end at Goodison Park on Monday as a determined Everton side held them to a 0-0 draw.

Indeed, many commentators remarked that last season's runners-up were lucky to escape Liverpool with a point, and that this was down in no small part to the man between the sticks.

For the second time in three weeks, Petr Cech is our Opta Keeper of the Week after another outstanding performance at the back for Luiz Felipe Scolari’s side.

Perhaps one of the only members of Chelsea defence not to be phased by the early departure of captain John Terry, the shot-stopper pulled off an impressive six saves to keep his side in the game, making a further six catches to frustrate The Toffees’ attacks.

Another player making a repeat appearance in this article this week but for an entirely different reason is Tottenham’s Heurelho Gomes.

Despite his heroics last week against Manchester United, when he was named our Opta Keeper of the Week and began top show signs that the worst of his calamities were over, the Spurs faithful were again left to rue what might have been after another poor performance from their keeper.

The goalie’s role in his side’s defeat cannot be ignored – Newcastle managed just two shots on target and Gomes missed both, consigning his side to their second defeat in four matches. His contribution to the match was limited to just one catch and one punch.
