#3 Tom Heaton saves Burnley the blushes
When a team like Burnley have their backs to the wall against a resurgent Chelsea attack, it all comes down to their goalkeeper’s form to decide the outcome of the game.
Tom Heaton – who has been a deputy goalkeeper for the English national side for a considerable period of time – had one of the busiest days between the sticks, pulling off save after save to keep the deficit down.
He could not be faulted for any of the three goals he conceded. With Hazard, Diego Costa and Willian in devastating form on Saturday, he needed to keep his focus intact in order to read every shot directed towards his goal. He may well have earned every pound of his salary at Stamford Bridge.
