Sheffield United dropped two precious points to Watford on Boxing Day. The match could have gone much differently if not for an incredible save made by Ben Foster. The Watford goalkeeper denied John Fleck and subsequently denied Chris Wilder two points.
After the match, Sheffield United posted a video showing just how close they came to winning the match. Many Sheffield United fans admitted that they had to give credit to the English shot-stopper. One supporter even joked that Sheffield United should try and sign the keeper.

Do you think Ben Foster's save against Fleck was the save of the season?
Yes
No
However, while one fan calls Foster’s heroics the save of the season, another suggests that Fleck could have done better. He reckons that Fleck has to score those chances.
Save of the season to deny us 3 points today. Fair play Foster

What do we think?
It’s not often that players receive heaps of praise from opposition fans after denying them points. It just goes to show how good of a save it actually was. Sheffield United fans will hope that Dean Henderson can come up with similar heroics when the team plays back to back matches against Manchester City and Liverpool.
