In the 2-1 win over Liverpool at Anfield, Donnarumma denied a deflected Alexis Mac Allister strike late in the game, a save hailed as the season’s best so far. The Italian keeper’s reflexes and composure were on full display, preserving City’s advantage in a high‑stakes match.
Later, in the 2-1 victory over Newcastle, Donnarumma made a stunning low save to stop Harvey Barnes’ volley in stoppage time, keeping the lead intact. His performance once again underlined his importance to Pep Guardiola’s side in critical moments.
