Nnadozie Earns Second Straight WSL Save of the Month Nomination

Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie has been nominated for the Barclays Women’s Super League Save of the Month for November 2025, marking her second consecutive nomination in as many months.

The 24 year old shot-stopper was recognised for an outstanding reaction save against Liverpool, where she tipped Fuka Nagano’s long-range strike onto the crossbar a moment that proved crucial as Brighton & Hove Albion later secured a 1–1 draw at St Helens Stadium.

Nnadozie had also been nominated for the October Save of the Month after producing a brilliant full-stretch stop against Tottenham Hotspur, denying a powerful free-kick from Eveliina Summanen.

Her consecutive nominations underline her growing influence in the WSL and highlight how quickly she is establishing herself as a top-level goalkeeper in England’s top women’s division. Fans can vote for the November winner on the official Barclays WSL website.

Editorial

To earn back to back nominations for “Save of the Month” in the WSL is no small feat it’s a signal that Chiamaka Nnadozie is not just present in England she is making waves. These are not consolation recognitions, but testaments to her quality, her reflexes, and her mental sharpness.

Nnadozie’s nominating save against Liverpool was a leap of faith, stretching every fiber until the ball kissed the crossbar. It’s the kind of moment that changes matches and, potentially, reputations. For a Nigerian goalkeeper to shine in the WSL so quickly is both a personal milestone and a landmark for African football.

Her consistency matters more than her past. Young goalkeepers from the continent now see in her a path step up, perform, and earn respect in world-class leagues. Nnadozie is not just defending goals she is defending a legacy.
