Manchester United came away from their Champions League last-16 tie against Sevilla with a hard-fought draw on Wednesday - and had their goalkeeper to thank.
David De Gea produced a series of spectacular stops to deny the Spanish side - including one world class reaction save from Luis Muriel's header just seconds before half-time.
The Spaniard's stop and United's result means Jose Mourinho can take the game back to Old Trafford and attack Sevilla on more familiar territory.
Following the clash, De Gea was asked about his save by MUTV.

"It was a good moment, good save of course, especially because of the moment of the game - the last minute of the first half.
"It was important not to concede goals. We defended well, I think they had a comfortable game but the tie is open."

When asked what Muriel said to him following his save, De Gea added: "They said 'it was a great save', but the most important thing was the result, we didn't concede.
"Now the result is open we need to play at home at Old Trafford and hopefully we can win there."
