With his clean sheet against West Ham, the goalkeeper has locked down the most clean sheets season, netting him the award for the first time
David De Gea has been considered arguably the top goalkeeper in the Premier League for years and now can claim an elusive bit of hardware to back it up.
Despite his long track record of success, De Gea had never taken home the Premier League Golden Glove award, which is handed out each season to the goalkeeper who keeps the most clean sheets on the campaign.
The Manchester United goalkeeper earned his 18th clean sheet of the season in a scoreless draw against West Ham United on Thursday, ensuring that he finishes on top of the 2017-18 Premier League charts for the category.
