David De Gea broke a 50-year-old record set by
Gordon Banks in Spain’s 3-0 victory over Turkey
at Euro 2016.
The Manchester United goalkeeper had kept
clean sheets in his first four competitive games
against Luxembourg, Macedonia, Ukraine and
Czech Republic and secured a fifth in Friday’s
win.
Banks made his competitive debut for England
against Uruguay in 1966 and managed to keep a
clean sheet, before doing the same in wins over
Mexico, France and Argentina.
But after 442 minutes, Banks was finally beaten
in the World Cup semi-final as Eusebio scored a
penalty, although England went on to win the
game 2-1.
Alvaro Morata’s double and Nolito’s strike
sealed the 3-0 victory over Turkey to put Spain
back at the top of Group D and safely through
to the last 16.
