An astonishing Andre Onana double save ensured Manchester United left Crystal Palace with a point after an entertaining goalless draw. 

However, his opposite number Dean Henderson was awarded the official Player of the Match award. The England man made a string of stunning stops which thwarted United in the first half.

The tale of the goalkeeping heroics from both players ensured the points were shared after an enthralling encounter at Selhurst Park.

The game quite literally had everything but goals. Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho both hit the woodwork in the first 45.

Palace star Eberechi Eze missed a golden opportunity to break the deadlock in the second-half. As did Fernandes. And there was also the Lisandro Martinez lunge which produced a dubious booking.

Andre Onana Double Save Comes Just Days After David Raya’s Heroics

Goalkeepers have certainly earned their crust in recent days. Andre Onana’s double save comes just 48 hours after David Raya’s stunning efforts against Atalanta.

The Arsenal shot-stopper saved a penalty and then the resulting follow up to ensure the score remained 0-0. Onana didn’t quite repeat his rival but his exploits were just as impressive.

Summer signing Eddie Nketiah had a goal-bound effort from range brilliantly stopped by Onana. Then, the Cameroonian international flung himself at Ismaila Sarr’s effort to superbly tip the ball away for a corner.

Manchester United will feel that they had done enough to take all three points against Crystal Palace. Nonetheless, they could have left with nothing if it wasn’t for Onana.

The Red Devils came up against a formidable Dean Henderson who was in fine form in south London. Both sides will rue their missed chances and still find themselves in the bottom half of the Premier League table.

Erik ten Hag’s side can be backed at 10/3 to finish in the top four this season, according to the best football betting sites in the UK. Scroll down now to watch the incredible Andre Onana double save.
