Get that garbage out of here!

On a Saturday where 'keepers across Europe were sacrificing their bodies, Jan Oblak got in on the action during Atletico Madrid's 2-0 win at Cordoba.

Oblak's save was eerily similar to one that Everton 'keeper Tim Howard made during his side's 1-0 win at Southampton, and was arguably more impressive than the one-handed stop Manuel Neuer made in the final moments of Bayern Munich's 1-0 win over rivals Borussia Dortmund.
