A lot of Newcastle United fans are delighted with Martin Dubravka after the Slovakian turned in a stunning display to keep a clean sheet in the Toon’s 2-0 win over Sheffield United.
The 30-year-old, who is valued at £6.3m by Transfermarkt, was in superb form as the Toon denied the Blades time and time again.
Was this Dubravka's best performance in a Newcastle shirt?
Yes, he was outstanding
No, he was good but has played better
His performance has thrilled these Toon supporters.

What do we think?
Since Dubravka joined Newcastle for a bargain £4m, he has played every single Premier League game and has quickly become a favourite on Tyneside.
He has made the odd mistake in the past, but on Thursday, he was outstanding – particularly in the first half.
The 30-year-old first denied Enda Stevens after the left wing-back’s shot took a deflection, (0:16) then he pulled off a superb diving save to prevent Ollie McBurnie from grabbing an equaliser for the Blades. (1:08)
At the end of the half, Oliver Norwood blasted a free-kick towards goal, but there was Dubravka to deny the Blades again. (1:27)
Newcastle had more control in the second half, but he still had to be on his toes to stop another McBurnie header. (1:40)
This was Dubravka’s 19th clean sheet, and it was well-deserved after he turned in a fantastic performance.
