Antonio Conte praises 'incredible' Dean Henderson after impressive start at Nottingham Forest

On-loan Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson has been praised by Tottenham manager Antonio Conte after an impressive showing against his team on Sunday. Henderson saved a penalty from Harry Kane, and although Nottingham Forest would go on to be defeated 2-0, it was another solid showing for the United loanee.

Henderson has been one of the better performing goalkeepers in the league so far, and has been praised throughout his first four games for Forest, where he'll spend the season on loan.

Speaking after the game on the save to deny Kane, Conte said: “I think he didn’t miss penalty, it was a big, big save from the goalkeeper. It was an incredible save."

Henderson left United in a now controversial manner, after admitting that he was 'fuming' with how he was treated by the club.

The keeper had stated that he was told by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer that he would retain his place in the starting XI the following season, though a bout of Covid derailed his campaign, allowing David de Gea to reclaim his place between the sticks.

And in a revealing interview with talkSPORT, the on-loan goalkeeper aimed an astonishing dig at his parent club, claiming they "wasted" 12 months of his career.

He went on to state that he felt like a 'caged animal' last season, and admitted that he's disappointed that he won't be allowed to play against United this season.
