Edwin's Super Save

Edwin van der Sar's stunning stop at Bolton has earned the Dutchman the Save of the Season award, as voted by ManUtd.com readers.

With Sir Alex's men 1-0 up at the Reebok Stadium, the Reds' no.1 flung himself across goal and extended every inch of his giant frame to tip Fabrice Muamba's shot around the post and preserve United's lead.

Reds goalkeeper coach Eric Steele paid tribute to van der Sar, telling ManUtd.com: "Sometimes Edwin’s labelled as a goalkeeper who’s very calm and good with the ball at his feet. But he’s also capable of making world-class saves and the one at Bolton is a prime example of that.

"We were 1-0 up at the time so it was an important stop. He’s shown great timing to get his footwork spot-on and also to get his hand up to the ball. It’s a big, strong hand that’s enabled him to push the ball out for a corner and that’s testament to the work he’s done in the gym this season.

"He showed fantastic reactions, too, as well as good concentration to follow the ball as Bolton moved it across the penalty area. He had to be constantly on the move and focussing on the ball the whole time, which isn’t easy. Then he’s followed that up by displaying fantastic athleticism and agility to make the save."

The stop, polled 26.8 per cent of more than 4000 votes to land Edwin this season's award. Ben Foster's close-range stop from Robin van Persie garnered 13.8% to finish second.
