#2 Flop: David De Gea

Manchester United's de Gea failed to stop two game-changing shots.
Manchester United's de Gea failed to stop two game-changing shots.

This was one of the worst nights for the Spanish international who is considered as one of the best goalkeepers in the world at this moment. de Gea was very poor in goal as he made many unlikely mistakes at the back.

He played calmly in the first half, clearing the ball and picking the right passes. However the game changed when Bernardo Silva took a rather tamed shot towards the near post and he didn't react in time to stop it from getting in. The second goal made things worse as it came straight at him and looked like a routine save considering his quality. Instead, it went in via a deflection off his leg.

de Gea hasn't been up to the mark in recent games. His performance against Barcelona in the Champions League was something he would be ashamed of as the ball went through his arms from Messi's right-footed shot.

He is enduring an uncharacteristic sticky spell at the moment and fans can only hope it won't last too long.
