Following Solly March’s blast over the bar for Brighton & Hove Albion’s seventh penalty, it fell to our no.2 to take the deciding spot-kick in the sudden-death shootout.
Despite the Sweden international not being a natural goalscorer, and after facing a spell away from regular first-team action this term, De Gea was still assured the Reds had it in the bag when Lindelof collected the ball.
After a goalless draw in the 120 minutes of action, it all came down to this one moment.
“To be honest, I was very convinced, as soon as they missed the penalty," De Gea told MUTV.
