📸 Morecambe 'keeper earns moment to remember with heroic penalty save | OneFootball

It's not easy to be a Morecambe fan right now.

With the constant protests against the club's owners and sitting second from bottom of the League Two table, it's not an exaggeration to say their very existence is under threat.

Facing Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup on Saturday, those fans made their cause known with banners in the away section, but at least they had one heroic moment to shout about in first-half action.

When the Blues were awarded a penalty on 17 minutes, up stepped Christopher Nkunku to take it, who – for context – cost Chelsea around £52m in 2023.

Up against the France international was 28-year-old goalkeeper Harry Burgoyne, who started out life in the Wolves academy but made just seven senior appearances for the Premier League side and was released by Shrewsbury at the end of last season.

Who would've thought Nkunu's penalty would be saved? And what a save it was too.

The FA Cup is made for moments like this.
