Watch David de Gea make one-handed wonder save to deny Newcastle late winner against Man Utd
DAVID DE GEA rescued Manchester United a point with a stunning one-handed save away at Newcastle.
The Spanish keeper stretched out his palm on 88 minutes to deny Magpies sub Miguel Almiron from bagging all three points.
David de Gea saved Manchester United with this stunning save
De Gea was undoubtedly United’s best player at St James’ Park, making seven saves – but he must have been stunned at how poor things were in front of him.
Edinson Cavani came off the bench to rescue a point for Ralf Rangnick‘s troops by prodding home on 71 minutes.
Allan Saint-Maximin had beautifully curled the home side into a seventh-minute lead – and they deserved all three.
But De Gea ended up proving the difference with his stunning late show in the 1-1 draw.
One United fan wrote on Twitter that the 31-year-old is ‘the best keeper in the league’, while another added that the Red Devils ‘would be in a relegation fight’ without him’.
United fan Charlie Allen tweeted: “United are horrible to watch but De Gea makes some unreal saves.”
