Brentford goalkeeper Mark Flekken has won February’s Premier League Save of the Month award.

With half-time approaching during the Bees’ meeting with Wolverhampton Wanderers on 10 February, a cross from Pablo Sarabia fell to Pedro Neto, who met it with his forehead at the back post. The ball looked destined for the bottom corner, but Flekken clawed it off his line and on to the post, before it was hooked away and the danger was cleared.

Brentford, already 1-0 up at this point courtesy of Christian Nørgaard, went on to win the game 2-0 – Ivan Toney doubling the lead 13 minutes from time.

“It feels good to be in a position where I can be important to our team,” said Flekken.

“I haven’t had the easiest first six months, so it’s nice to get an award like this after a good few weeks.

“Since the Tottenham game in January, I feel like I’ve finally been putting in the performances that I know I’m able to. I’m putting 100 per cent in to keep that level up.”
