Ashley Young hailed David de Gea's performance for victory at Crystal Palace.
De Gea made two wonder saves to deny Glenn Murray in the 2-1 win.
"He's been making save after save for us and that one today was vitally important," Young said.
"Maybe that spurred us on to get the winning goal. It was fantastic and I thanked him after the game.
"We went in 1-0 up and we knew they were going to come out in the second half and put us under pressure.
"They did that for pretty much the whole of the second half. We had to dig deep and defend as a team, and that's exactly what we've done."
