Carl Ikeme Showing He Is Still The Real Deal After Clean Sheet Vs Newcastle
Published: September 18, 2016
Wolverhampton Wanderers goalkeeper Carl Ikeme silenced his critics when he posted a shutout in his team’s impressive 2-0 win at Newcastle United in the Championship on Saturday.
Ahead of the World Cup qualifier against Zambia in exactly three weeks time, there were question marks regarding his form after he conceded four goals in front of the Wolves faithful in the loss to Barnsley last weekend.
Ikeme made crucial saves during yesterday’s game at St. James’ Park, showed good positioning to effectively deal with the opponents crosses.
The Super Eagles netminder saved a shot from Jonjo Shelvey in the 5th minute, dived low to keep out Perez in the 22nd minute and made an excellent save to block Mitrovi� with 13 minutes remaining.
With three clean sheets from eight games in the English second-tier, Ikeme is consolidating his position as the undisputed Nigeria goalkeeper following the retirement of Vincent Enyeama (Lille).
