WATCH: Keiren Westwood is the talk of the football world after stunning save in Championship playoff final

"He has just shown why he is one of the top goalkeepers in the Sky Bet Championship."

Keiren Westwood is taking all the plaudits and rightly so. Hull City might've won promotion back to the Premier League with a 1-0 playoff final win but Westwood won the admiration of the public. The Republic of Ireland international took for Wembley with Sheffield Wednesday and he was not fazed. Instead, he grabbed the platform he was given with both hands and turned heads all over Ireland and England. https://twitter.com/HaydenFoster_/status/736599105229754368 https://twitter.com/DamianPoutney/status/736599102021046272 https://twitter.com/GParkererer/status/736599096807559169 There's plenty of more where that came from. But it was the 31-year-old's "unbelievable" first half save to deny Abel Hernandez that most people were talking about. Hull looked like they were about to break the deadlock (again) when the striker raced through one-on-one with the Irish stopper but Westwood's reactions to rush from his goals and get a stunning block on the effort really was something special. And it had poor Steve Bruce in disbelief on the sidelines. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88qHe9_Lkfs Westwood won't link up with the Ireland squad until after the weekend but, ahead of Martin O'Neill's 23-man squad announcement on Tuesday night, Wednesday's number one might even force himself further up the pecking order. His effect was obvious to everyone else anyway. https://twitter.com/EleanorDallas/status/736599757590794240 https://twitter.com/DannyBhoy10/status/736600046205042692 https://twitter.com/liamsuttono/status/736600040622456833 https://twitter.com/RealDramRob/status/736600036449091585 https://twitter.com/AaronMPM/status/736599931193044992 In the end, it took a special Mohamed Diame effort in the 72nd minute to eventually beat Westwood as Hull won the game 1-0 when it could've been so much more for them too. Hull deserved to win. But so did Westwood. https://twitter.com/brad_henshaw/status/736607720070086657
