Evanilson may be new to the league, arriving from FC Porto this summer, but that didn't stop Sanchez from doing the homework on him prior to the game.

"We always study the opponents. I've been looking at him. I can see he changes when the keeper dives early. So I held, and I knew if I stayed where I was he was going to put it there, so it was a good decision and a good save. It's the closest thing you can get to scoring a goal as a keeper."

Big Bob, doing whatever the opposite of "fail to prepare, prepare to fail" may be!

(This is the second penalty he's saved for us, after also doing so against Bruno Fernandes and Manchester United last season - when he also waited patiently.)
