All goalkeepers loved Manuel Neuer’s save

By Stephen Barry

Manuel Neuer came to Bayern Munich’s rescue in the first-half of their Champions League clash with Arsenal tonight, pulling off an incredible save from Theo Walcott.

The save showcased Neuer’s lightning-quick reactions, which fooled Walcott and Aaron Ramsey, who were already celebrating as Neuer clawed it away.
