Union Berlin's Danish goalkeeper Frederik Ronnow has saved no less than four penalties this season and that makes him part of an exclusive club of goalkeepers who have saved the most penalties within one season.

After their surprising rise to the top a couple of seasons ago despite their limited financial means, this year has really been a season to forget for Union Berlin who sacked coach Bo Svensson earlier in the year and are currently in 13th spot in the Bundesliga. 

However, they can take joy from the fact that Danish international Frederik Ronnow has been one of the best goakeepers in the Bundesliga in terms of saving penalties. 

Ronnow has so far saved four out of five penalties which puts him in 5th place on a list of the 12 best goalkeepers in the Bundesliga history. 

Thomas Zander fron 1860 München tops the list after saving six penalties out of six during the 1979/1980 season. Ulrich Sude from Borussia Mönchengladbach is in second spot having saved five out of six penalties during the 1984/85 season while Fulham-keeper Bernd Leno is in thrid spot with five out of eight penalty saves for Bayer Leverkusen during the 2013/14 season.
