Brentford goalkeeper Mark Flekken has been nominated for the Premier League's Save of the Season award.

The stop, which won February's Save of the Month, came in the Bees' 2-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers, with Flekken keeping a crucial clean sheet at Molineux Stadium.

With half-time approaching during the west Londoners’ meeting with Wolves earlier this year, 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 onto the post, before it was hooked away and the danger was cleared.

Brentford were already 1-0 up at this point courtesy of Christian Nørgaard, with Ivan Toney doubling the lead 13 minutes from time; Flekken's save from Neto and a solid all-round performance contributed to a vital three points for the Bees.

After winning the award in February, Flekken commented: “It feels good to be in a position where I can be important to our team.

“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.”

Brentford's Saman Ghoddos has also been nominated for the Premier League's Goal of the Season award for his incredible half-volley in the Bees' 3-0 win over Burnley in October.

Vote for Flekken to win Premier League Save of the Season. Voting closes at 6pm on Friday 24 May.

Your vote will be combined with those of a panel of football experts to determine the winner, who will be announced on Sunday 26 May.
