Man Utd penalty hero De Gea: Great goal from Jesse; massive three points

David de Gea was delighted with his late minute penalty save to earn Manchester United a 2-1 win at West Ham.

Jesse Lingard came off the bench to score a stunning late winner against his old side and De Gea saved an injury-time penalty as United dramatically came from behind to beat West Ham.

Luke Shaw was adjudged to have handballed in the box, but De Gea dived the right way to push away the spot-kick that had been taken by Mark Noble, who was making his first touch after coming off the bench in the 95th minute.

The keeper later said: "It was the last minute, I made the save. A massive three points for us. Going through my head was 'save the ball'.

"It was a really tough game, both teams had good chances, again a great goal from Jesse.

"It is a massive three points. In the dressing room we said the three points were the most important thing."
