Brentford goalkeeper Mark Flekken\u2019s remarkable denial of Wolves\u2019 Pedro Neto has been named Castrol\u2019s Save of the Month for February 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n Flekken joined\u00a0Brentford\u00a0from Freiburg at the start of the 2023 summer transfer window and continued his recent fine form in the Bees\u2019 2-0 win at Wolves in February.<\/p>\n The Bees secured victory thanks to goals from Christian Norgaard and Ivan Toney, but they also needed a helping hand from Flekken at the other end to keep out what looked like a certain goal from Neto.<\/p>\n Describing his save from Neto\u2019s back-post header at Molineux, Flekken said: \u201cIt was a great cross from the right side. He [Neto] heads it really good down to the floor, gets a little bounce and luckily the goal post was there to help me a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n Flekken\u2019s sharp left-handed save ensured Brentford took a 1-0 lead into half-time before Toney sealed the visitors\u2019 victory with 13 minutes remaining.<\/p>\n After claiming Castrol\u2019s award, Flekken added: \u201cYeah, it feels good. It feels good to be in a position where I can be that important to our team.<\/p>\n \u201cI haven\u2019t had the easiest first six months so it\u2019s really nice to get a reward like this. Just hope to be able to keep putting these performances in.\u201d<\/p>\n Flekken won the award over Wolves\u2019 Jose Sa, Tottenham\u2019s Guglielmo Vicario, Manchester United\u2019s Andre Onana, West Ham\u2019s Alphonse Areola, and Aston Villa\u2019s Emiliano Martinez.<\/p>\n Brentford and Flekken return to action with a trip to title-chasing Arsenal on Saturday evening. The Bees were good value for a point in a 1-1 draw in this fixture last season, with Toney grabbing a crucial equaliser on that day.<\/p>\n Brentford\u2019s Mark Flekken has won the @Castrol<\/a> Save of the Month award for February thanks to his incredible save against Wolves! \ud83d\udc1d\ud83d\udc4f pic.twitter.com\/YoN7Lv7PNu<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 90min (@90min_Football) March 8, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n <\/p><\/div>\n\n
