Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana has won September 2024's Premier League Save of the Month award for his heroics against Crystal Palace.
Onana dived low to his left to keep out Eddie Nketiah's long-range shot and then somehow recovered to keep out Ismaila Sarr's follow-up, jumping from the floor to his left to push a shot from inside the six-yard box out for a corner.
Peter Schmeichel, a five-time Premier League title-winner with Man Utd and one of the best goalkeepers in the competition's history, said: "You don't expect it to go through him [the legs of Matthijs de Ligt] so not only does he have to react, he also has to get down and get a very strong hand to it. But the recovery is just amazing. A very, very good save. He's stepping up and winning points for his team."

Not only was it a stunning double save but it also helped Man Utd to a goalless draw at Selhurst Park, giving Onana one of four clean sheets already this season, meaning he leads the race for the 2024/25 Golden Glove award.
It is the second time Onana has won the award, having also done so in April with an astonishing stop to deny Burnley's Lyle Foster.
The 28-year-old Cameroonian claims the prize after votes from the public were combined with those of a panel of experts, topping a shortlist featuring six stunning stops by goalkeepers across the month.
