Video: De Gea makes a horrific save to deny Villarreal the lead against Man United

Manchester United are currently in action against Villarreal in the second round of Champions League group stage fixtures.


Looking to get their own back on the Spanish side following their Europa League final win last season, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has named a strong, attacking starting lineup.


With three of four first-choice defensive players out through injury and suspension, Solskjaer has been forced to name a much-changed back four, featuring Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane, Victor Lindelof and Alex Telles – all of whom are playing in front of goalkeeper David De Gea.


After latching on to the ball, the Villarreal wide-attacker unleashed a beauty of a striker but was denied by United’s Spanish number-one.


Reacting to the number-one’s fine diving save, several fans were quick to take to social media to praise the experienced shot-stopper. Below are some of the best tweets.

  Donny van de Beek has not had an easy time since joining Manchester United from Ajax last season. The Netherlands international looked a top player in his time in the Eredivisie, but he’s found opportunities hard to come by under Man Utd manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Red Devils fans will likely be puzzled by the situation, and it seems pretty clear that Van de Beek isn’t happy with how things are going either, with the Telegraph reporting that he wants assurances over his situation at the club. It’s also pretty obvious from the video below that he didn’t respond well when he found out he was going to be an unused substitute once again in the Villarreal game last night…

 Manchester United’s early kick-off on Saturday afternoon against Everton saw both sides involved in a fierce exchange during the game’s first half. Midfielder Scott McTominay tried to pick up full-back Lucas Digne after the Frenchman appeared to be injured on the floor, which sparked outrage among both sides. Although the scenes that proceeded appeared to be blown out of proportion, upon closer inspection, it has become clear that Toffees’ midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure threw more than one punch at United’s Fred. Despite VAR taking a look at the events, the officiating system failed to detect any wrongdoing. Lucky – very lucky indeed.

Video: Harry Kane silences the Etihad with 95th-minute winner for Tottenham at Man City

 Cometh the hour, cometh the man, and Tottenham Hotspur’s talisman, Harry Kane, was in exactly the right place at the right time to nod home a 95th-minute winner at Manchester City. Spurs had led the match twice through Dejan Kulusevski and Kane, but had been pegged back each time. A horrible Hugo Lloris error saw Ilkay Gundogan slide home, and then a late handball and a penalty after a VAR review handed Riyad Mahrez the chance to save the game in injury-time for Man City.
