Nigeria’s Vincent Enyeama has been rewarded for his sterling performance for Lille OSC on match day 32 in Ligue 1, France’s top flight.
According to French respected media outlet, L’Equipe, the Nigerian goalkeeper was voted the winner of the top-five stops in last match day in the Ligue 1.
The goalkeeper kept a clean sheet in Lille’s 3-0 win over Nantes at Stade de la Beaujoire – Louis Fonteneau on April 3 but it was his stunning save off a free kick from the opposition that has set the pulses racing.
Enyeama produced a save that defied logic to deny Nantes’ Icelandic striker, Kolbeinn Sigthorsson.
Sigthorsson had fired a fierce, swerving free kick from over 25 metres out and with the effort seeming destined for the top corner, Enyeama beat out the effort, one-handed, to concede a corner.
The save was voted as the best in the top-five saves poll for match day 32 in Ligue 1.
Enyeama’s save attracted 32% of the 6992 votes cast to edge out the duo of the SCO Angers’ Alexandre Letellier (second with 25% of votes) and the Rennes Benoît Costil (third with 18% of votes).
The 33-year-old Enyeama has played 29 times for Lille in Ligue 1 this season.
