Edwin Van Der Superstar Breaks Another Record That Stood For 30 Years

edwin van der sar goalkeeping record manchester united caricatureIt seems that every time Manchester United play a game recently, they break one record or another. Yesterday was no exception and again it was Edwin Van Der Sar that did it. He has now set an English record for the number of minutes played without conceding a goal in United's 1-0 victory over Everton on Saturday.

The former Netherlands international has gone 1,122 minutes without giving up a goal. He surpassed the previous mark of 1,103 minutes set by Reading's Steve Death during the 1978-79 season.

Van der Sar was last beaten in November, when Arsenal's Samir Nasri scored on him twice.

There is another record to aim for in the next match away to West Ham United. This time it is Chris Woods British record he set when he went unbeaten for 1,196 minutes for Rangers. So here we go again, he needs to keep West ham out for 75 minutes to claim that record too.
