Tottenham Hotspur 0-1 Manchester United: 5 Talking on the Manchester United performance | Premier League 2018-19

#1 Dave Saves

He can save with his left; he can save with his right; he can save with eyes slammed tight

On a day when the defensive setup and tactics from both the teams were being blown out of proportions, David De Gea and Hugo Lloris proved their worth as they made wonderful saves to keep their team in the game.

The opening minutes of the second half saw Manchester United No.1 being called into the action as David De Gea denied Harry Kane from scoring the equalizer as he brilliant saved it with his feet in the 48th minute. The very next minute saw the Spaniard making his second impressive save of the match as he dived low to and pushed the ball away from a Dele Alli header.

The opposite No.1 tried to take the spotlight off the Spaniard with 3 impressive saves but the limelight though was not meant to be for the Frenchman as De Gea showed why he is rated as the best in the business with mouth-watering saves. The Spaniard once denied the Kane with his feet after the Englishman had his shot straight at the Manchester United No.1.

The next save was even better as De Gea once again made another save with his feet to deny Alli another goal scoring chance. The best of the match was yet to come as the Spaniard kept out Alderweireld in the 70th minute, clearing with his left foot.

The Spaniard ended the match with 11 saves, the highest number of saves in a single match without conceding a goal.

11 – David de Gea made 11 saves for Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur today; the most saves he’s made in a top-flight league match without conceding a goal. Unbeatable. #TOTMUN pic.twitter.com/r7xYnHzalv
