Anton Vladimirovich Shunin (Russian: Антон Владимирович Шунин; born 27 January 1987) is a Russian footballer who plays as a goalkeeper.
Club career
[edit]Shunin is a youth product of Dynamo Moscow. He made his debut on 21 April 2007 in a 2–1 win over Khimki.[citation needed]
On 17 November 2012, Shunin was struck by a firecracker thrown from the stands during a Russian Premier League match against FC Zenit Saint Petersburg. After the match had been stopped, it was confirmed that Shunin had sustained a burn of the cornea in one eye.[2]
He was voted as player of the month for November 2019 by Dynamo fans.[3]
On 4 August 2020, he was voted Player of the Year by Dynamo fans for the 2019–20 season, the prize he also won in 2018–19.[4] He was voted player of the month again for August 2020 and September 2020.[5]
On 16 November 2021, he extended his contract until the end of the 2023–24 season.[6] Shunin left Dynamo after that contract expired.[7]
International career
[edit]Due to presence of Igor Akinfeev, another Russian one-club man goalkeeper of CSKA Moscow fame, Shunin's opportunities in the national team have been limited for most part of his senior career.

In the UEFA Nations League in 2020, Shunin was briefly the first choice goalkeeper of the national team.[citation needed]
