Alisson joins goalkeeping legends with clean sheets
Liverpool No 1 becomes only fifth ‘keeper to record 20 clean sheets in a Premier League season
Related ArticlesIn his first season in the Premier League, Alisson has already joined an elite group of goalkeepers.
By shutting out Huddersfield Town in the 5-0 win on Friday night, the Liverpool No 1 became only the fifth goalkeeper to record 20 clean sheets in a PL season.
Indeed he is the first to do so since Pepe Reina and Edwin van der Sar 10 years ago.
| Cech | CHE | 2004/05 | 24 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Van der Sar | MUN | 2008/09 | 21 |
| Schmeichel | MUN | 1994/95 | 20 |
| Reina | LIV | 2005/06 | 20 |
| Reina | LIV | 2008/09 | 20 |
| Alisson | LIV | 2018/19 | 20 |
| Goalkeeper | Club | Season | Clean sheets |
The Brazilian is no longer able to catch the goalkeeper with the most clean sheets in a season, Petr Cech, with 24 for Chelsea in 2004/05, but another shutout would take him past Reina's club-record mark for Liverpool, which he has equalled.
Another clean sheet in either of Liverpool’s two remaining matches would also earn Alisson at least a share of the 2018/19 Golden Glove.
Alisson is two ahead of the 18 clean sheets kept by Manchester City’s Ederson, who must stop Burnley scoring on Sunday to have a chance being the outright winner.
