Chiamaka Nnadozie Tops Women’s Super League Goal Prevention Rankings with Stellar Brighton Display

Chiamaka Nnadozie has risen to the top of the Women’s Super League goal prevention rankings after a commanding performance in Brighton’s 1–0 win over London City Lionesses. The Nigeria international made five crucial saves and kept her third clean sheet of the season.

Nnadozie now holds the second-highest number of clean sheets in the league and has accumulated 42 saves in ten matches. Performance data shows she has prevented more goals than any other goalkeeper in the division, highlighting her increasing influence in English football.

The metric, which compares the expected goals on target from shots faced to the number actually conceded, puts Nnadozie at the top with a goal prevention value of 2.9. She leads ahead of Hannah Hampton (1.9) and Ayaka Yamashita (1.1), with Sabrina D’Angelo, Daphne van Domselaar, and Lize Kop completing the top six.

Her latest display came in a tightly contested away fixture. Brighton took the lead in the sixth minute through Kiko Seike and nearly doubled their advantage shortly after when Madison Haley missed a penalty, saved by Elene Lete. Nnadozie made four first-half saves to keep Brighton ahead and handled the Lionesses’ lone shot on target in the second half with ease.

The victory moves Brighton to seventh on fourteen points, just one point behind sixth-placed London City Lionesses. Brighton will next face champions Chelsea at home, while the Lionesses travel to Leicester looking to bounce back.
