It had to fall on David De Gea… Accustomed to dumplings in recent seasons, the Spanish goalkeeper started the year 2023 with… a dumpling.
On Friday night, Manchester United faced Everton as part of the 32nd finals of the FA Cup, the FA Cup. While the Mancunians had started the match perfectly with a very quick goal fromAntony (4′), an incomprehensible error by By Gea revived the Toffees.
On a center of Neal Maupay, the Spanish goalkeeper obviously forgot that he could use his hands for a few seconds. Glued to the near post, De Gea tangled his brushes and let the ball pass between his legs, which allowed Conor Coady (14th) to push the ball into the net.
A blunder that had the gift of annoying the former Mancunian Roy Keane on the ITV channel: “It’s a shocking mistake, a horrible mistake from an international goalkeeper. It’s like he’s had a few drinks. It’s as if an outfield player had entered the goal!“.
Fortunately for the Spanish goalkeeper, his mistake was ultimately inconsequential since them Red Devils won 3 goals to 1 against the boards at Drunk.
