Deep into injury time, the Leicester City man managed to stop a calamitous own goal by stretching to reach Thomas Delaney’s header, but two of the most stunning saves came in either half as the Dane tipped two efforts onto the crossbar.

Others described the 32-year-old’s display as “top class,” “immense” and “outstanding”.

Here’s the best of the reaction:
