De Gea’s 11 saves help United beat Tottenham

-

LONDON — David de Gea produced 11 saves in a virtuoso goalkeepin­g performanc­e Sunday, helping Manchester United to a 1-0 victory over Tottenham secured by Marcus Rashford’s goal. By passing his first significan­t test since replacing Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer became the first United manager to open with six straight wins — strengthen­ing his bid to keep the manager’s job into next soccer season. The only goal came in the 44th minute at Wembley Stadium after Tottenham defender Kieran Trippier gave the ball away. Paul Pogba sent a long, high diagonal pass to Rashford who sent it low beyond goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.
