Newcastle United boss John Carver has hailed Tim Krul as "world class".
Krul has been criticised for Manchester United's winner in midweek.
When asked if Krul had been world-class at times this season, Carver said: "Absolutely. Tim has been fantastic. He has been one of the big leaders, the characters this season.
"He can't take any criticism for the goal. Absolutely not and it's important your goalkeeper makes the important saves for you."
