DBasia.news – David De Gea had an important role when Manchester United won 1-0 against Tottenham Hotspur on the 22nd-week of Premier League, Sunday (13/1).
Tottenham Hotspur penetrated Manchester United’s defense throughout the match. Statistically, The Lilywhites scored 21 shots, 11 on target.
On the other hand, Manchester United just created 13 possibilities and could bring home three points after Marcus Rashford scored the goal at 44′. Meanwhile, the ball possession is 62:38 percent for Tottenham.
One of the keys behind The Red Devils victory is De Gea’s performance. The player of Spain national team could abort the possibilities from Harry Kane, Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli, Son Heung-min, and Toby Alderweireld.
Mauricio Pochettino’s effort to send many attacking players couldn’t penetrate De Gea’s goal. The 28-year-old goalkeeper got a Man of the Match by his action throughout the match.
Apparently, it’s not the first time De Gea performed greatly. If in the match against Tottenham he did 11 savings, De Gea did 14 savings when he played against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium on December 2nd, 2017. At that time, Man United closed the match with a 3-1 victory.
David De Gea is the most consistent player of Manchester United in recent years. Despite the bad performance in the 2018 World Cup, the former Atletico Madrid is The Red Devils hero this season.
Meanwhile, this is the sixth consecutive victory of Manchester United under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Now, Paul Pogba and friends are in the fifth position of Premier League temporary table with 41 points.
