Amos hails super save from Man Utd pal De Gea against Chelsea

Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Amos hailed the form of David De Gea after their draw at Chelsea.

Amos watched on from the bench in admiration when De Gea pulled off his world-class stop to keep out Juan Mata's free-kick towards the end of Sunday's 3-3 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

"It was a really good save obviously," enthused Amos to manutd.com. "That's De Gea's strength in my eyes. He's light and quick and maybe he knows Mata from the Spain Under-21 days because if you look closely, David takes a couple of steps that way before Mata hits the ball so maybe he's seen that before and anticipated it. It was a brave move but it paid dividends.

"People often think that if you go with the top hand it's the wrong one but you can get a couple more inches if you turn your whole body. It looks a bit awkward but you can actually get a little bit extra reach, believe it or not."
