OH MY GOD, WHAT A SAVE

- — GARY NEVILLE

THE score was 3-2 to United but City are champions-elect and they were not going down without a fight. A high ball into the box was met by the predatory Sergio Aguero with a thundering header that seemed destined to be the equaliser. ‘Aguero!’ shouted Sky commentato­r Martin Tyler, not for the first time. It was the same cry when Aguero scored to clinch City’s title in 2012. But United goalkeeper David de Gea sprang across his goal from right to left. He seemed to move early in anticipati­on, then had to twist and adjust, throwing his right arm across his body to turn the ball over the bar. ‘Oh my God, what a save,’ said Gary Neville, who was alongside Tyler.
