Watford’s winning streak came to an end on Saturday after Manchester United beat them 2-1 at Vicarage Road. Goals from Romelu Lukaku and Chris Smalling within three minutes gave United a 2-0 lead.
A goal from Andre Gray turned out to be a mere consolation for Watford.
De Gea was outstanding throughout the game as he made some really fine saves.His performance at goal kept the likes of Troy Deeney and Roberto Pereyra at bay.
Ben Foster was all praise for the Spaniard. Foster said, “He is the most natural goalie you will ever see. He is the Messi of goalkeeping. He does it all the time. It’s almost like he is not even bothered, either.
It would be so nice to pull those saves off, get up and it’s almost like he just wants to go home. He is brilliant.A top goalie and, if any young goalie out there wants to learn how to be a goalkeeper, watch David de Gea. He is world class. Breathtaking.”
Manchester United are now 8th in the Premier League table while Watford are 4th below Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City.
