Getty ImagesWHAT HAPPENED?
Onana was spotted using vaseline on his gloves during a busy first half against Liverpool, in which he was forced to make three saves. In total, he faced 15 shots in 45 minutes, but fans were left confused by the efficiency of using a slippery substance on his gloves, after seeing him concede to Luis Diaz.
(C)Getty ImagesWHAT DOES THE VASELINE DO?
Applying vaseline to goalkeeper gloves is not a new tactic, as it actually makes the gloves stickier, and potentially makes it easier for stoppers to catch the ball. Newcastle United legend Shay Given and ex-Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart have both used the product in the past.
