Man Utd keeper De Gea praises Chelsea rival Mendy after stalemate

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea says Chelsea owe their keeper Edouard Mendy for point they took away on Saturday.

Mendy twice denied Marcus Rashford with superb saves on the day.

De Gea said, “I think we had two or three big chances, especially with Rashy, but the keeper saves [them]. That is fine and, like I said before, we deserve a bit more. [It was] a tough game and now we need to look forward to the next game.

“It was the best time to score a goal," he added, on Rashford's injury-time chance. “I was watching from behind and saw the keeper saving the ball. That's us trying to the end, trying to score a goal until the last second of a game."
