Manchester United 1-0 Totteham: 6 men who were brilliant for  Solskjaer

#1 David De Gea

Dave saves

For much of the second half, it was De Gea versus the entire Tottenham team. The home team had thrown men forward in a bit to secure at least a draw and had pegged United back for the majority of the half. They had even managed to pass the United defense, but every time they tried to score, they were met with a defiant goalkeeper.

David De Gea made 11 saves in the second half alone, the most by a goalkeeper this season in a half. It almost looked like Tottenham would score, only for the United custodian to thwart them. Some of his saves were absolutely unbelievable.

The Spaniard was brilliant in the first half as well, keep United in the game on a couple of occasions, but he outdid himself after the break. Having such an assured goalkeeper makes every team better and all the credit of United's win has to go to De Gea, without whom, United would have surely lost the game. It is no wonder that he is considered by many to be the best in the world right now and against Tottenham, the Spaniard showed just why he is indispensable to this United team.
