CREDIT FOR DE GEA AFTER 16TH CLEAN SHEET
Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof insists David De Gea's incredible second-half double save proved the Spaniard's fantastic quality yet again as the Reds secured a comfortable 16th Premier League clean sheet in a 2-0 win over Swansea City at Old Trafford.
Lindelof played his part in the centre of defence as the Reds held firm for another shut-out, whilst first-half goals from Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez were enough to secure the three points.
The Swede paid credit to United’s no.1 after his brilliant double save from Tammy Abraham, the first of which could easily be added to our show-reel of his top Premier League saves, as the Reds secured a 16th clean sheet of 2017/18 – the most in the Premier League thus far.
“Swansea had two good opportunities in the second half, but we had David De Gea in goal and like I always say he is a fantastic goalkeeper,” Victor told MUTV. “I think those two saves prove his quality. The opponent might not have much shots at goal, but he is always ready when shots do come and always there to save them. He is a fantastic player.
“We always want to keep a clean sheet, that’s very important for us because if we keep a clean sheet, we know our attacking players can score goals.“
Lindelof was pleased with the first-half showing and credited the front players for some brilliant link-up play.
“I think we started the game very good, we kept the ball very well and then we scored two very good goals," he reflected. "In the second half we came out and they had a few chances, but other than that we controlled the game very well.
“The front players had great movement and had a great buzz between them. They had a lot of freedom and I think they showed it out there – they had a lot of fun.”
Lukaku scored his 26th goal of the season and in the process bagged his 100th Premier League strike and Lindelof was full of praise for both he and United’s second goalscorer, Alexis.
“To score that many goals it is a great achievement and I am very, very happy for him and of course we are happy to have him on our team," added the defender. "I think Alexis also had a very good game and he showed his movement and quality with the ball is great so I am very happy for him as well.”
