Ex-Newcastle United goalkeeper Freddie Woodman continues to shine at Preston North End

Preston North End goalkeeper Freddie Woodman has once again unlocked the potential that he struggled to show during his limited opportunities at Newcastle United. Preston are unbeaten after four games (W1 D3) and are yet to concede a single goal in the Championship.

Woodman has averaged 2.25 saves per game in the second-tier this term with his most notable save, which saw him plunge to his near post to divert Rotherham United's Connor Washington's header to safety, helping preserve Preston's unbeaten record.

The 25-year-old left St James' Park this summer, following nine years on Newcastle's books. He played just four times for the Magpies in the Premier League, all of which came at the start of last season.
