Karl Darlow has been awarded the Premier League’s Coca-Cola Save of the Month for April. The Leeds United goalkeeper made a remarkable save during a match against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Brilliant Save Secures Award
Darlow’s award-winning moment came when he denied Wolves defender Ladislav Krejci. The incident occurred at Elland Road, where Darlow skillfully tipped a powerful header over the crossbar. This came as Leeds was leading 2-0 midway through the second half.
A Historic Achievement
This marks the first time Darlow has won this award, which was introduced in the 2022/23 season. He is also the second player from Leeds to receive a monthly Premier League honor this season. Previously, Dominic Calvert-Lewin was named EA SPORTS Player of the Month for December 2025.
Impact on the Match and Season
Darlow’s save was crucial in maintaining Leeds United’s clean sheet in their eventual 3-0 victory. The team continued to perform well, achieving a spirited 2-2 draw against AFC Bournemouth and a convincing 3-1 win over Burnley. These results have propelled Leeds to 14th place in the Premier League standings with a total of 43 points.
