The Spaniard kept 140 clean sheets in the Premier League

Spanish goalkeeper David De Gea equaled Peter Schmeichel’s record of 180 clean sheets when Manchester United clinched the 3-0 win over Leicester City in the English Premier League.

The Leicester match marked De Gea’s 400th appearance in the English top flight.

 

De Gea has kept 140 of those clean sheets in the Premier League, ranking fifth in the competition’s history and just one behind former England keeper David Seaman in fourth.

Denmark’s Schmeichel’s 128 rank 11th in a table headed by ex-Chelsea and Arsenal keeper Petr Cech with 202.

The Spaniard’s efforts against Leicester took him into double figures for a ninth season out of 12 since moving to England.

He has 154 in domestic competition overall, also including five in the FA Cup and eight in the League Cup plus one in the 2013-14 Community Shield.
