I dont know if the keeper really saw the guy right under him in the 1st one. Hard to tell. Looked accidental to me. Scary moment though

The 2nd one is an outright mugging

Keepers are trained to jump with that knee up for protection. I think the first one was fine - just unfortunate. The second one seemed a bit deliberate to me.

I'm sure there are a lot more videos of keepers getting laid out and broker Peter Cech style than there are field players getting broken by keepers. If you're a player, you know exactly what the keeper is doing and that the knee will be high.
