WATCHING David de Gea’s Wembley masterclas­s was like watching an ice hockey goalkeeper. It was as if he was wearing giant pads the way he confidentl­y batted the ball away with legs time and again. We have become accustomed to keepers like Alisson and Ederson using their feet to play brilliant passes. De Gea uses his to make worldclass saves. Be it with his hands or feet, his decision-making is second to none. You cannot pull off a performanc­e like that on instinct alone. It comes from hours of practice on the training ground. But Hugo Lloris should have saved Marcus Rashford’s winner. Not for the first time this season, Spurs’ No 1 made a costly mistake. Is it time for Mauricio Pochettino to consider dropping him for Paulo Gazzaniga?
