In the last few weeks of the Premier League season, the importance of goalkeepers in the title race has been extremely visible.
In February alone, Gianluigi Donnarumma made a vital stop at Anfield to gain Manchester City two extra points at Anfield, then days later David Raya dropped two points for Arsenal at Wolves.
"They gave us the title race we have now," said Jamie Carragher. "That shows how important the role is right now. That's how important goalkeepers are in the title race."
This importance is not new. A decade ago, John Terry talked about the importance of Petr Cech winning his Chelsea team an extra 12 to 15 points in a season. And while discussing the topic with Edwin Van der Sar on Monday Night Football, Carragher believes that is still the case.
