Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez won all the headlines when he came of the bench to score the equalizer in a toughly contested 1-1 draw against Liverpool on Saturday but the Mexican has personally hailed goalkeeper David De Gea as the difference maker.

United's lack of firepower up front without either Hernandez or Wayne Rooney in the starting line-up allowed Liverpool to attack relentlessly for the first 70 minutes at Anfield but aside from Steven Gerrard's successful free-kick, De Gea denied all of the Reds' efforts.
