Lonnick also became the second manager in Manchester United history to keep clean sheets in his first two league games. Of course, the greatest credit for being able to do this goes to the number one goalkeeper De Gea. He also saved his opponent's close-range header in stoppage time to ensure the team scored three points. After the match, the Spanish goalface was also voted the best of the game.
Norwich, on the other hand, suffered a four-round winless run in the league and went on to finish at the bottom with 10 points. In mid-November, Norwich changed managers, but unfortunately Dean Smith's good luck was left to the start. When he first took office, Dean Smith said norwich City's goal this season was relegation.
