Brad Freidel picked up his second of the season, but has allowed three during his Blackburn career and so does not make the table showing the leading stoppers over the past two seasons
Barthez has managed his 100% record with some effective gamesmanship: he did allow one passed him earlier on in his career at Manchester United. Over this time period the least effective goalkeepers have been Mark Schwarzer (1 save to nine allowed) and Neil Sullivan (1/8): Sullivan, with 26, has the unenviable record of conceding the most penalties in the Premiership. Over the past two years, Ian Walker, Paul Jones, Kasey Keller and Peter Enckleman have each allowed five in without stopping one
Of course for every hero there is a goat. Four players have managed to miss at least two penalties in the past twenty-four months, although - of these - only Fowler has yet to notch at least one. Twelve other players have missed one penalty without scoring one
Even Alan Shearer, the most prolific penalty scorer of all time, with 42, is not immune from failure. van Nistelrooy and di Canio match his seven succesful penalties over this time-period, both with a 100% success rate
