TOP 10: Ex-Liverpool keeper Reina emerges as greatest in Premier League history

AC Milan goalkeeper Pepe Reina has emerged as having the best record in the history of the Premier League.

Research by FourFourTwo reveals that in 285 Premier League matches for Liverpool between 2005 and 2013 the Spaniard kept 134 shut outs – that's a total of 47.02% of all his games.

Such form earned Reina the Premier League's Golden Glove award in each of his first three seasons at Anfield but was never selected for the PFA Team of the Year.
