Mechelen’s Jean-François Gillet did it this week against Anderlecht, but how many other goalkeepers have saved three penalties in one game?
Here are 5 other players who achieved this rare feat…
Adam Bogdan for Liverpool v Carlisle United, 2015
Simon Mignolet’s understudy stepped in for last month’s League Cup tie to perform heroics in a penalty shoot-out at Anfield…
Carlos Arias for Oriente Petrolero v Universitario de Sucre, 2012
The Bolivian goalkeeper saved the same penalty three times when the referee twice ordered a retake for advancing off his line…
Igor Kojić for Hajduk Beograd v FK Vojvodina, 2008
This guy saved FOUR penalties in a shoot-out before stepping up to score the winning goal. Truly amazing stuff…
Edwin van der Sar for Manchester United v Chelsea, 2007
The Dutchman assured a 3-0 penalty shoot-out win in the Community Shield with these consecutive stops…
Paul Crichton for Doncaster Rovers v Rochdale, 1990
No video for this one unfortunately but, like Carlos Arias above, Crichton saved the same penalty three times after the referee twice ordered a retake.
