The Premier League Golden Glove is a special award in association football. It's given to the goalkeeper who stops the most goals and keeps the most "clean sheets" in a single Premier League season. A "clean sheet" means a goalkeeper and their team didn't let the other team score any goals during a match.

This award started in the 2004–05 season. For a while, it was called the Barclays Golden Glove. Now, since the 2017–18 season, it's known as the Cadbury Golden Glove because of sponsorship.

In 2005, the first Premier League Golden Glove was given to Petr Čech, who played for Chelsea. He set a record that year with 24 clean sheets in one season, which is still the highest ever!

Since 2005, Petr Čech and Joe Hart have won the award the most times, with four wins each. Pepe Reina was the first goalkeeper to win the award three times in a row. He won it between 2005 and 2008. Joe Hart also won it three times in a row with Manchester City from 2010 to 2013.

During the 2008–09 season, Edwin van der Sar broke a big record. He went 1,311 minutes without letting an opponent score a goal. This amazing streak broke several records, including the Premier League record and the all-time league record in Britain.
