Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea made a string of outstanding saves in the first half to keep the scoreline at 2-0, with Liverpool battering the visitors for nearly the entire 90 minutes of their first-leg Europa League Round of 16 clash.

 

Goals from Daniel Sturridge and Roberto Firmino gave Liverpool a deserved 2-0 win over Manchester United at Anfield on Thursday. However, it was the contribution of David de Gea that kept the Red Devils from suffering a humiliating defeat.

The Spaniard’s save off the goal-line from Philippe Coutinho’s effort in the first half, in particular, caused a meltdown on social media, with viewers in disbelief over what they had just witnessed.

Meanwhile, Liverpool supporters celebrated their first win over Louis van Gaal since the Dutchman took charge of Manchester United. Previously, the Reds had lost each of their last four matches, with all of those defeats coming in the English Premier League.

Here are the best reactions from the first ever Europa League meeting between England’s two biggest clubs:
