Nick Pope produced a save of the season contender last night as Burnley gained their first 3 points of the season.
A Chris Wood goal in the opening ten minutes proved enough for the Clarets in the end , beating Crystal Palace 1-0.
It was Pope that took the plaudits though, after producing a point-blank save in the 89th minute to deny Benteke.
The Burnley keeper was called into action on numerous occasions throughout the game but stood strong each time.
5 saves, a clean sheet and a MOTM worthy performance saw Sean Dyche’s side move out of the relegation zone and secure a long awaited win.
It has been a good couple of weeks for Pope who made his 4th appearance for the national team in the last international break.
He is still yet to concede a goal as an England goalkeeper in his 225 minutes played.
Gareth Southgate was full of praise for the shot-stopper and last nights performance will have reaffirmed his thoughts.
Burnley travel to Manchester on Saturday to take on Pep Guardiola’s men who have been somewhat underwhelming this season.
Nick Pope and his teammates may be quietly confident after yesterdays result and will be keen to cause an upset.
