A Nigerian goalkeeper is knocking on the door of the WSL Golden Glove. And she is not asking for permission.
Chiamaka Nnadozie, in her very first season with Brighton, has kept six clean sheets in 18 matches. That puts her right behind three other goalkeepers who have seven each. The difference? Just one game. Just one shutout. 📊
With two matches left to play against Arsenal and Tottenham . Nnadozie can still catch up and even overtake them. But she will need perfection. No goals conceded. Two clean sheets back to back.
Here is what makes her special. Even if she does not win the award, the numbers do not lie. She leads the entire league in save percentage with 74.4%. She ranks second in goals prevented. And she is third for saves per 90 minutes. That is not luck. That is class. 📈
Beyond individual glory, Brighton also has an FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool. So Nnadozie is playing for two things personal pride and team silverware. 🏆
A Nigerian goalkeeper dominating in England is not new. But a Nigerian goalkeeper winning the Golden Glove in her debut season? That would be history. And she is only two games away. 🇳🇬👏🏽
