Some Manchester United fans on Twitter were pleased with the late save from Dean Henderson during the goalless draw at Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Wednesday.
The Red Devils had gone into the game on the back of successive 0-0 stalemates in the Europa League and Premier League, and the streak continued with another poor attacking display.
Barring one shot from Bruno Fernandes in the first-half, they fluffed their lines and could not test the Palace goalkeeper.
In the end, they could have quite easily lost the game if it was not for the late heroics from Henderson.
The 23-year-old was chosen between the sticks with regular first-choice David de Gea absent due to personal reasons.
He came to the club’s rescue in the 89th minute, advancing from his goal-line to block a shot from Patrick van Aanholt.
In August 2019, Van Aanholt scored from a similar position against de Gea which turned out to be the winning goal, but he was denied by Henderson this time around, much to the relief of some supporters.
Here are a few reactions on Twitter.
Would be a huge mistake if we let go off Dean Henderson this summer, man. Was an embarrassing result + performance anyway but he’s saved us from an even further embarrassment right at the end there with that save. Top goalkeeper.
