Shae Yañez nominated for the WSL2 Save of the Season Award

The save came in the 3-0 victory over Birmingham in December - a crucial win in Palace's road to promotion.

The Eagles were leading 1-0 at the VBS Community Stadium, but they came close to being pegged back on the 62nd minute.

Veatriki Sarri took aim from outside the box and unleashed a fierce effort destined for the roof of the net.

Thankfully for Palace, Yañez was there to deny her - acrobatically tipping the ball onto the crossbar and away from danger.

It was the most spectacular save on a day where nothing could get past the Palace 'keeper.

Her effort is up against three saves from Charlton's Sophie Whitehouse, two saves from Ipswich Town's Natalia Negri and a save from Southampton's Fran Stenson and Durham's Cat Sheppard.
