Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has admitted his admiration for Everton No1 Tim Howard.
United host Everton on Sunday.
De Gea watched in awe as the Everton keeper's athleticism forced extra-time before the Belgians eventually won 2-1.
"Maybe, without him, they might have lost that [Belgium] game four or five-nil. He played really well," De Gea told ManUtd.com. "When you have a game like that, your confidence just gets bigger. You always hope to have games like that.
"He is a really experienced goalkeeper who has played many, many games in the Premier League. He is brave, quick around his goal and a great shot-stopper. He is a great keeper."
