Edwin Van der Sar rewrites a "bearded" record

In the 24th round of the championship of England, Manchester United on Old Trafford with a score of 1: 0 outplayed Everton.

On the eve of the meeting, the goalkeeper "Mu" Edwin Van der Sar was awarded the Prize League prize for a record of 11 "dry" consecutive matches. The impressive series of the Dutchman in the championship was 1032 minutes , which is 7 minutes larger than the Chelsea goalkeeper of Peter Czech, set in 2005.

And in this meeting, Van der Sar could become the author of the most long “dry” series already in the history of the championships of England (this tournament has been called the Premier League since 1992), where the record holder was Steve from Redinga, which in 1979 did not miss their heads within 1103 minutes. In order to surpass the achievement of 30 years ago, the Dutch goalkeeper needed to leave the gate "on the castle" for 72 minutes of the match.

This task became more complicated after Ronaldo realized a 11-meter blow in the 44th minute, and all Everton’s thoughts became associated only with an adequate response, but the defenders of Manchester United played reliably, and when it still came to the threats of the Manicanians, the Dutchman was already perfectly acting. At the 72th minute, the "impenetration" of Edwin Van der Sara became record, amounting to 1104 minutes. Thus, the achievement of Steve details of thirty years ago was blocked.

As for the situation in the standings, MJ has strengthened his leadership, gaining 53 points already. His main pursuers of Chelsea and Liverpool, who have 5 points less, today play among themselves.
