The Blues goalkeeper’s impressive stop against Aston Villa's Nicolo Zaniolo from September has made a nine-save shortlist from across the season.

From a well-worked Villa set-piece, Boubacar Kamara headed a Villa corner back into danger and found Zaniolo eight yards out.

The Italian's strike looked a certainty to hit the net, catching the volley with real power, but Sanchez produced an exceptional piece of goalkeeping, somehow reacting to tip the ball over the crossbar at the Matthew Harding end.

The stop has already claimed September’s Save of the Month crown, Sanchez becoming the first Chelsea stopper to win that award since Kepa Arrizabalaga claimed the prize in October 2022 - also for a save against Aston Villa.

The other nominees making up the shortlist are:

• Liverpool’s Alisson in the 2-1 win over Newcastle

• West Ham’s Alphonse Areola in their 4-1 defeat to Aston Villa

• Luton’s Thomas Kaminski in a 2-1 win against Crystal Palace

• Sheffield United’s Wes Foderingham in a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool

• Everton’s Jordan Pickford in the goalless draw with Fulham

• Brentford’s Mark Flekken in their 2-0 win over Wolves

• Nottingham Forest’s Matz Sels during a 1-0 defeat to Liverpool

• Manchester United’s Andre Onana in a 1-1 draw with Burnley
