The most impressive stop Sanchez has made since joining the team for £25 million from Brighton Hove & Albion occurred during a recent match between the Blues and Aston Villa, who are maintaining the excellent form they shown under Unai Emery last season.

With a great reaction to Zaniolo’s vicious volley, Sanchez was able to deflect the Italian international’s shot over the crossbar from a clear distance, maintaining parity in west London.

“It’s a personal trophy, an amazing feeling,” Sanchez said after accepting his prize. “But now it’s time to get some team awards as well, hopefully.”

It was a contest that required numerous stops, and I believe I made one akin to the one five minutes earlier on a left-footed volley. There were many bodies blocking the shot that I was just getting set for. I basically prepared myself to attempt to see the ball and respond to it.

It feels wonderful, it’s another top save, but it’s a cross, so we need to get ready for the next corner again, the 25-year-old said, hinting to the necessity for an instant change of focus in the game. Clap a few times, then get back to work. Stay focused, make saves when necessary, and support the team.

“We had a difficult beginning, but now that we’ve found ourselves, we’re doing pretty well. Quite a few clean sheets as well, so keep up the good work, keep improving, score more goals, and undoubtedly advance with the team.

Sanchez is the second goalkeeper to win the Castrol Save of the Month award for Chelsea – former teammate Kepa picked up the October 2022 award for a save he made against Aston Villa in the corresponding fixture last season.

Guglielmo Vicario of Tottenham, Jordan Pickford of Everton, Ederson of Manchester City, David Raya of Arsenal, and Alisson Becker, the Castrol Save of the Month winner from August 2023, were also up for the September honor.

Robert Sanchez, who expertly blocked Nicolo Zaniolo’s potent volley at Stamford Bridge, has been named the Castrol Save of the Month for September.

The Spaniard, who made several key stops for his new team during the first few weeks of the 2023–24 season, has undoubtedly been Chelsea’s player of the year thus far.
