Darren Randolph had a busy weekend just onge as he followed up a clanger that allowed Divock Origi to pull Liverpool level with an outrageous save to deny Jordan Henderson, meaning that both the good and bad of his evening were highlighted on MOTD.
Also highlighted was the Bray man's incredible interview where he refused to even acknowledge the save many are calling save of the season as he was so devastated to have cost his team a goal.
With so much being made about Loris Karius' situation at Liverpool, there were question marks over whether or not Adrian would be brought back in for the midweek trip to Burnley, but Bilic stood by his keeper, and Randolph rewarded him making proving that he now truly is West Ham's #1.
Randolph pulled off another outstanding save in the first half, and was again the talk of twitter after the match, but this time it was all positive as he was flawless throughout 90 minutes.

72: ??? @RandzOfficial dives full-length to push Arfield's free-kick away with a strong left hand. Superb stop

Fantastic to see him bounce back in such a way.
He's made that position his own at West Ham and it's great news for Ireland to not only have a goalkeeper starting regularly in the Premier League, but to be playing really well.
Long may it continue.
