Everton have equalised against Manchester United in the FA Cup. but it would be much worse for United but for David De Gea, which is something we have written quite often this season. De Gea brilliantly saved this Romelu Lukaku penalty in the second half. It may have been a case of justice being served, as the decision to penalise Fosu-Mensah for this challenge on Ross Barkley seemed extremely harsh. A generous penalty, but De Gea dived low to his right to produce a fantastic save. Watch below:
So was it a great save, or a poor penalty by Lukaku? Danny Murphy is doing the co-comms on BBC and said that it was a poor attempt by Lukaku, claiming that the Belgian striker telegraphed the direction he was going to send it.
What a stunning save by David de Gea to deny Romelu Lukaku from the penalty-spot. Best goalkeeper in the world. #EFCvMUFC #EmiratesFACup

Lukaku's penalty miss reminds me of what @TSF said about Martinez. He's too much of pushover, Baines is amazing at pens let him take them
