Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata 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.

Mata wrote in his personal blog: "It was a win that demanded a lot of work from us because Crystal Palace made it tough. In the first half we were better and I had the chance to score my first penalty with Manchester United.

"However, their pressing was good, they tied the game and created a few good chances.

"David was amazing, as always, and in the last few minutes Fellaini's header gave us the victory and three crucial points to achieve our goal."
