Stoke legend Banks: Grant deserves greater press for Ibra wonder save

Stoke City legend Gordon Banks admits he was buzzing after seeing Lee Grant's performance for their draw at Manchester United.

Grant was superb for the 1-1 result.

He told the Daily Mirror: "I saw one save the other day by the Stoke keeper (Lee Grant) at Old Trafford which has not been given anywhere near as much praise as he deserves.

"He had a terrific game, but the save where he got down to keep out Zlatan Ibrahimovic's shot by the foot of his post was fantastic – the ball was already passed him when he managed to get a hand to it. Those are the saves that make you burst into applause from your armchair."
