'What a save!' - Manchester United fans go wild as Dean Henderson brilliance denies Liverpool FC

Manchester United fans have lauded loanee Dean Henderson after the goalkeeper made a stunning save in stoppage time to ensure Nottingham Forest secured a 1-0 win over Liverpool on Saturday.

Steve Cooper's side, who had only won one Premier League game prior to their clash with Jurgen Klopp's side, secured an important victory over the Merseyside club at the City Ground - with former Liverpool man Taiwo Awoniyi scoring the only goal of the game in the 55th minute.

The away side dominated the ball but were unable to find a breakthrough against Forest. Klopp's side threatened to level proceedings late in the tie, but Henderson - who is on a season-long loan from United - made a spectacular stop to deny Virgil van Dijk from close range.

Liverpool had a corner in added time and Van Dijk was somehow left unmarked, which provided the Dutch defender with an uncontested header close to Henderson's goal. It appeared as though the 31-year-old was going to make it 1-1, only for the Forest shot-stopper to deny him.

Henderson's save was well-received by United fans, who praised the England international for ensuring his side won the game. Here is how some Reds fans reacted to his save.

The 25-year-old shot-stopper made just three appearances for United last season - none of which were in the Premier League - and has featured on just 29 occasions in all competitions since his two-season loan spell at Sheffield United came to an end.

Henderson is under contract with United until 2025, with the goalkeeper signing a new five-year contract in 2020.
