David de Gea: Concedes three in draw
De Gea made three saves while conceding three goals in Tuesday's 3-3 draw with Newcastle United.
Analysis:
De Gea was strong in the first half, saving a point-blank opportunity from Georginio Wijnaldum before eventually conceding minutes before the halftime whistle to the Dutchman. The second half saw Chris Smalling concede a penalty, which was converted, and a Paul Dummett rocket careen off Smalling's shoulder into the top corner of the goal. While the final tally was one de Gea would love to forget, he still managed to play well throughout, though the leaky United backline could continue to spell trouble for the Spanish keeper.
