From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In
association football
, a goalkeeper is said to "keep a clean sheet" if they prevent their opponents scoring any goals during an entire match. Since the
Premier League
's formation at the start of the
1992?93 season
, 17 goalkeepers have managed to keep 100 or more
clean sheets
in the Premier League.
Peter Schmeichel
was the first goalkeeper to keep 100 clean sheets and
Petr ?ech
is the only player to keep 200.
[1]
?ech also took the fewest games to reach 100 clean sheets,
[2]
holds the record for most clean sheets kept in a single season, with 24.

[4]
The record for consecutive clean sheets is held by
Edwin van der Sar
, who went 14 games without conceding in
2008?09
for
Manchester United
.
[5]
The first goalkeepers to keep a clean sheet in the Premier League were
Tim Flowers
and
Ian Walker
on the opening day of the inaugural season, in a 0?0 draw between
Southampton
and
Tottenham Hotspur
; all other goalkeepers conceded that day. Each year, the goalkeeper who keeps the most clean sheets during the Premier League season is awarded the
Premier League Golden Glove
award. First presented in
2004?05
, nine goalkeepers have won the award, with
Joe Hart
and Petr ?ech sharing the record for most wins, with four.
Of the still active players in the Premier League,
Łukasz Fabia?ski
is closest to joining the
100 Club.
The
West Ham United
goalkeeper has kept 90 clean sheets (13 for
Arsenal
, 39 for
Swansea City
and 38 for West Ham).
Liverpool
's
Alisson
is next with 85 shutouts for The Reds.
