Shaw Feels De Gea And Courtois Are World Class

Luke Shaw feels David De Gea and Thibaut Courtois proved they are world-class goalkeepers during the 1-1 draw between Manchester United and Chelsea at Old Trafford.

The Reds' left-back was impressed by his team-mate's remarkable save to thwart Eden Hazard seconds before Didier Drogba headed the visitors in front from the resulting corner. However, Courtois also took the plaudits for some vital interventions, twice keeping out Robin van Persie before the Dutchman had the last laugh by rifling in a stoppage-time leveller, when the big Belgian spectacularly denied his countryman Marouane Fellaini.

De Gea and Courtois both proved their worth at Atletico Madrid and are showing why they are regarded as two of the best young shot-stoppers on the planet.

"If you look at David's save just before their goal, it was a world-class stop and I think, in the past few weeks, with what he has been doing, it's amazing to see him come into form like this now," explained Shaw.

"We've seen what Courtois has done in the past six months, not just for Chelsea but before that [with Atletico] so we know what his qualities are and he's proved to be a great buy for them.

"We had a lot of chances and, with him in goal, he helped them a lot. Robin had a few and I think it might have been Adnan [Januzaj] who had a shot as well.

"There were those chances but he's a world-class goalie in their goal and he helped them a lot."

Shaw was thrilled to experience the Old Trafford atmosphere at its most raucous as the late goal led to joyous scenes on the pitch and in the crowd.

"It's a feeling I've never felt before," he enthused. "The whole crowd got up and you saw how much it meant to all of us. We all jumped on each other!

"We spoke in the dressing room and we knew we could have got three points with the chances we had and maybe we could have done a bit better on their goal. But that's football at the end of the day."
