David de Gea put in another magnificent performance for Manchester United yesterday and was the star of the show in an important 2-1 win over Arsenal.
The Spaniard came into the game off the back of some injury concerns after dislocating his finger against Spain during the international break but you would never have known because of how well he played.
Everything Arsenal threw at De Gea was smothered and it took a stunning, unexpected shot from Olivier Giroud in the 95th minute to beat him but it didn’t stop him being named Man of the Match.

On the way home, De Gea sent a message to United fans and hailed Wayne Rooney‘s goal which ended up being the eventual winner.

After the game, De Gea got a treat of his own after meeting Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, otherwise known as Dumb & Dumber.
Getting out of the dressing room and meeting @JimCarrey and @Jeff_Daniels was just icing on the cake. Idols.

Time and time again, De Gea has stepped up for United this season when they needed him and he did precisely that against Arsenal. His consistency is frighteningly reliable and the longer the season goes on, the more De Gea is beginning to look like one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
