David De Gea has received harsh criticism from the public for the terrible error that allowed Everton to tie the game against Manchester United.
Conor Coady, who equalized for the visiting team, slid between the Spanish goalkeeper’s knees and caught him off guard at his near post.
The typically dependable Spaniard was unable to handle a low cross from Neal Maupay, allowing the ball to fly off both of his feet before squeezing through his legs for Conor Coady to score.

Fans, on the other hand, have dubbed the error as “hilarious” online after failing to do so.
The error occurred on the same day that backup goalie Jack Butland from Crystal Palace was added on loan, and some supporters are calling for Butland to start right immediately.
Marcus Rashford’s outstanding burst of speed to create a passing opening to the far post for Antony to score United’s first goal after four minutes.
After that, Rashford added a second as he charged into the box and fired a ball into a hostile area that Coady unintentionally headed into his own goal.
The Englishman then added a goal to a penalty that Alejandro Garnacho had won to round off an outstanding evening for himself.
After De Gea’s “embarrassing” error, fans had the following reactions:
One supporter tweeted: “What the hell was De Gea doing?!”
Another person chimed in, “What the hell was that?”
What just happened, a third person asked.
Some fans made educated guesses about what might have happened.
One user said, “Break dancing from the looks of it.”
Making mistakes since he hasn’t done many this season, another person added. It’s customary.
Another person offered the advice to “keep the game interesting.”
De Gea howler, one fan exclaimed. It’s Now Orland Time.
