#4 Carlo Cudicini v Tottenham Hotspur
The goalkeeper was one of the greatest Italians to have been a part of the Premier League and rightly so. Cudicini signed for Chelsea in 2000 and quickly became a fan favourite.
The player’s performances were such that he won the Chelsea Player of the Season award for 2001-02 and ITV Premiership Goalkeeper of the Season for 2002-03. Unfortunately for him, he could only be the starting goalkeeper for four seasons and was replaced by Petr Cech.
Cudicini’s amazing save came off a powerful shot hit by Dimitar Berbatov when the Bulgarian was at Spurs. Berbatov got a clear shot at the goal with only the Italian standing between him and the net. However, Cudicini brilliantly denies him with a strong save using his right hand which is somehow also able to absorb the ferocity with which the ball has been hit.
