Robin Roefs - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Concedes five against City Roefs had one save and allowed five goals in Sunday's 5-3 defeat versus Manchester City.

Impact Roefs was in for a busy day Sunday and could do very little to stop City, as he only made one save as he allowed five goals in the loss. This is a third straight game in league play without a clean sheet for the keeper, with only one in his five appearances this season. He will have the international break to regroup before facing a Brighton team that has caught fire recently.

Quiet win Roefs made no saves and allowed zero goals in Sunday's 1-0 win against Fulham.

Impact Roefs didn't face a shot during Sunday's win, and earned the clean sheet. It was an easy day for Roefs, not that he will complain with a tough trip to Brentford up next, as well as a clash with champions Arsenal.

Impact Roefs kept 10 clean sheets in 35 Premier League appearances in his debut English top flight season after joining from NEC Nijmegen, earning Sunderland's Young Player of the Season award and a Netherlands call up, including a spot at the World Cup. He made one save in the season opening loss to Ipswich Town, and his new deal reflects the club's confidence in him as a long term building block after helping Sunderland finish seventh and qualify for Europe last season.

Single save in loss Roefs recorded one save and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 loss against Ipswich Town.

Impact Roefs faced three shots during Saturday's loss and stopped one of them. It just wasn't enough to earn the win or the draw in the opening match of the campaign. It's a disappointing start, but Roefs has shown the quality to bounce back and be a positive contributor moving forward.

Beaten once versus Chelsea Roefs recorded two saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Chelsea.

Impact Roefs was moderately tested Sunday and had a couple of decent reactions, although he struggled when a distant strike ultimately denied him a clean sheet. He ended the season on a positive run, allowing only three goals over his final four matches. His final averages of 3.1 saves and 1.3 goals allowed per game and total of 10 clean sheets in 35 starts reflect a productive first Premier League campaign, during which he served as the first-choice goalkeeper for a Sunderland side that vastly outperformed expectations.

MAY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Concedes one against Everton Roefs made three saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 3-1 victory over Everton.

He will now prepare for a much more difficult match, facing a hot Manchester United on May 9.

MAY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Roefs conceded five goals on just six shots against in one of his worst individual performances of the season.
