West Ham United striker Michail Antonio has admitted Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea is “really annoying” after the Spaniard produced a string of impressive saves in his side’s win over the Hammers last weekend. Speaking on the Footballer’s Football Podcast, Antonio singled out De Gea’s performance and spoke about his previous meetings with the shot-stopper.
Michail Antonio said: “De Gea, argh. It’s so frustrating. Some of the saves he’s been putting up are unbelievable. He’s done that to us for the last three years we’ve gone up there. We have had so many chances and he’s just decided to turn up for our games. He was unbelievable. They played well defensively. [Lisandro] Martinez was quality, he was a rock, Harry Maguire came in and did well – with all the comments – but he was solid. [Diogo] Dalot took three balls off my head at the back stick! De Gea, over the last few years, playing against him, he has pulled out some worldies against me. I think it was in lockdown and I had three opportunities against him, back stick header, pulled it out, unbelievable save. Left-foot shot, edge of the box, going just inside top bins and he’s finger-tipped it over the bar. Next one was five yards out, I hit it just to the left of him and he’s still managed to get something on it! There’s a few games where he has done this to me and he’s really annoying me, not going to lie!”
De Gea has come up against the Hammers on 22 occasions during his career, with the Spanish shot-stopper on the winning side 11 times. He has only lost three games against the London outfit and has recorded seven clean sheets.
