Manchester United took on Burnley in the Premier League today and came away from the game at Old Trafford wondering how they did not win the game. They dominated the match from the off but could not find the winning goal in the game.

The main reason for this was their former goalkeeper Tom Heaton – who was yet again inspired for Burnley.

He made some excellent saves but one from Zlatan Ibrahimovic in particular caught the eye.

It even saw one of the greatest goalies in Premier League history, and another former Manchester United star, calling it one of the best ever in the Premier League.

Peter Schmeichel had this to say about Heaton’s save on Twitter:

Burnley fans need no reminding of how important Heaton is to their team and of the consistent quality he produces. He has been putting in top class performances for the Clarets ever since he joined the club from Bristol City in 2013.

The best save ever in the Premier League? Craig Gordon might have something to say about that. But there is no doubting that the Burnley stopper produced something world-class with this stop and it will go among the best in the Premier League.
