The inexplicable mistake of David De Gea, the Manchester United goalkeeper who tied a knot and gave Everton a goal

The Spanish David DeGea He is one of the best archers in the world. His saves often go viral. But this same phenomenon also happens with his mistakes. And one of them, a blooper hard to believe, occurred this Friday in the duel between Manchester Utd Y Evertonfor the 32nd final of the traditional FA Cup.

What happened? The red devilswith Lisandro Martínez Y Alexander Garnacho waiting for their chance on the substitutes’ bench, they won early, after 4 minutes, with a goal from the Brazilian Anthony. It all seemed simple for Erik Ten Hag’s side against a team that is fraying and that has Frank Lampard, their coach, on the ropes.

However, De Gea, 32, has dealt a terrible hand to the Liverpool team. It is that in front of the astonished gaze of the Old Trafford fans he was unable to react to a low cross at the near post.

He was served the ball, which slipped between his legs, as if he had tied his feet in a knot. Conor Coady enough to sign the 1-1 partial just played the first quarter of an hour. The strangest thing is that De Gea hasn’t conceded a goal since last November, when football took a break to make way for the World Cup. Yes, the undefeated streak ended in the worst possible way.

It was an unusual move for a goalkeeper, who has great experience and is United’s undisputed regular. It is so indisputable that a few days ago the Slovak left Martin Dubravka with the hope of adding minutes to Newcastle. For this, those of Manchester have announced the arrival of Jack Butlanda 29-year-old Englishman, who has arrived from Crystal Palace, to referee as a substitute.

The turns of life wanted, however, that Coady got his “punishment”. Is that the 29-year-old defender, already in the second half, ended up scoring a goal against when he tried to close after a cross from a fiendish Marcus Rashford.
