Chelsea and Senegal goalkeeper Edouard Mendy produced the save of the World Cup so far against Qatar on Friday, provoking a reaction of incredible support from Blues supporters.
After losing to the Netherlands 2-0 on matchday 1, Senegal needed to bounce back with victory over the host nation. They were cruising whilst 2-0 up, but a bit of pressure from Qatar nearly resulted in them pegging one back with plenty of time to go in the second-half.
After a ball was whipped into the area from the left-hand side, Qatar wing-back Ismaeel Mohammad shinned an attempt towards goal from just six-yards out, but Mendy somehow got down to his right to claw the ball away.
