The Red Devils were under the cosh in the second half with Spurs applying relentless pressure. Yet, they came through unscathed, courtesy of David De Gea. Over the course of the game, David De Gea has made 11 saves and got in the way of everything the home side threw at him.

He started the second half by denying Kane and later came up trumps with Alli. However, the save he pulled off at his near post from an Alderweireld flick was arguably his best. For large parts of the second period, the United boat was rocking but the Spaniard stood firm.

Throughout the 2018-19 season, David De Gea’s place among the higher echelons of the goalkeeping pyramid has been questioned. Yet, on Sunday, he delivered a performance to silence all those doubters and remind the world that he definitely deserves to be at the top.
