West Ham battle to a 1-1 draw away to Manchester United at Old Trafford today and all the talk was about Darren Randolph's brilliant performance in goal for the Hammers.
It's been quite a turnaround in recent times for the Bray man, who was largely an unused substitute for West Ham last year and hasn't looked back at international level since coming on as a substitute for Shay Given in the Republic of Ireland's European Championships qualifier against Germany last October.
And today it was Randolph's name on the lips of most people watching at Old Trafford as the Hammers hung onto a draw after going ahead just two minutes in through Sakho. A goal from Zlatan after twenty-one minutes brought United level but the Irish keeper's Herculean efforts ensured frustration for United.

First Tom Heaton, now Darren Randolph. Bang average keepers having the games of their lives at OT.

I hate Man United as much as the next person but their past few draws have been crazy. Grant, Heaton and Randolph all going Neuer mode on em

Randolph has been brilliant, looks like Adrian has definitely lost his place.
