Liverpool defender Joel Matip has heaped praise on Manchester United goalkeeper pulled off a fantastic save on Saturday to deny him a winning goal during the game between the Reds and United on Saturday.
The defender said: “I have to score, but he saved it really brilliantly. Opportunities like this we have to use and it was a little bit unlucky and frustrating.
“Against a team like Manchester United you cannot defend every situation but we did it well over the 90 minutes. They didn’t often have opportunities, so a clean sheet and we can use this as a base to go on.”
Liverpool looked the more likely team to win the game on the day against Manchester United and Jose Mourinho’s men were seemingly playing for a point considering that they were very defensive.
The Cameroon international Matip was the closest to winning the game for his side as he struck a low shot from Roberto Firmino’s cross. De Gea however performed a world class save using his legs which would have no doubt left Matip frustrated.
