    Superb reflex to use his foot while diving the other way

    At first glance, I thought the ball hit Patterson’s leg and it was lucky.

    It was a brilliant save to react like that and possibly his best of the season.

    The best you can do, once you've decided which way you're going, is have the presence of mind to swing a leg out just in case and hope to get something on it if it goes down the middle. He did that, so well done to him.

    Not sure I’ve seen a truer connection with a volley this season!!

    No fluke, a well aimed clearance.

    In my humble opinion we have the best young keeper in the country. The lad can save penalties as well and seems unflappable. He's going to get better as well. The talk of £10 million is insulting.

    Wow. Mental that

    Patto is getting better every week. Same could be said for a few players in this squad. There are exciting times ahead for SAFC

    If anything, disappointed he gave away possession instead of setting Clarke up for a counter attack....

    You see him look back after he’s dove and swings a well aimed boot at it I know a good few keepers would have missed kicked that,so it’s a big well done Patto from me

    Kept his eye on the ball, reacted brilliantly to kick the ball back up to Sunderland

    Did anyone else think that his kicking was much better last night too?

    His all round game was much better I thought that’s the best I’ve seen him commanding his area

    We’ve got another absolute gem of a player but tbf we’ve almost got one in every position atm.

    Another 2 or 3 seasons and he'll be challenging Pickford for a spot in the England team.

    Great advertisement for our academy

    I think this does him a disservice, personally. He didn't just swing a leg and hope for the best, he had the presence of mind and quick thinking to look back and intentionally kick the ball. It was a really incredible save, imo.

    Like others have said he made that save cause he watched the ball and aimed boot at it.

    He was out catching crosses and corners with real conviction last night aswell!
