On the day of the league decider, Arsenal beat Wolves 2-0, with goalkeeper David Laye making his 13th consecutive league shutout, three ahead of second-placed Ewarton's Bickford, and the Golden Gloves award almost within reach if he keeps three more games without conceding a goal.
David Laye, 28, has been on loan to Arsenal from Binford this season, and initially coach Adi Da said he would have a healthy rivalry with Lansdal, but that hasn't been the case. Laye has quickly become the starting goalkeeper, with Lansdal dropping to the bench. Despite being a loanee, the two sides have reportedly secretly signed an official contract effective next summer for a transfer fee of £27 million (HK$264 million), at which point he will be automatically transferred.
The race for the Golden Glove award is getting tighter and tighter with David Laye in fine form and untouchable for the time being. Ewarton's Bickford is close behind with 10 clean sheets, Ham Bintang Nenu follows with nine, and Manchester United's Orana, Ashton Villa's Darmian and Martinez, and Manchester City's Edinson Moras pose a strong challenge with eight clean sheets each.
