Bournemouth goalkeeper Neil Moss took the plaudits after his wonder save helped the Cherries earn a point from a 1-1 draw at Barnsley.
The 28-year-old made his superb stop early in the game at Oakwell, denying the Tykes' stand-in striker Antony Kay what looked like a certain goal.
Afterwards, Moss' team-mate Steve Fletcher told the Daily Echo: "It was a goal all the way. The lad even headed it back across the goal and I don't know how Mossy kept it out.
"Not only did he save it, but he also managed to scoop the ball away for a corner when most goalkeepers would have pushed the ball into the path of another player.
"As soon as he made the save, it reminded me of the one Gordon Banks made at the World Cup in 1970.
"I've seen Mossy make some great saves in his time, but, as a reaction save that was the best. It was world-class."
