During the siege of Old Trafford whereby Manchester United launched an aerial assault like no other into our box, one man stood head and shoulders above everyone else.
Twenty-one year old Dan Burn, recalled from a loan spell with Birmingham City recently, was a colossus at the heart of the defence managing to get his head to a huge 22 clearances as the Fulham rear-guard held firm.
Speaking about the onslaught afterwards, Burn had a few words for the media, remarking,
‘We knew that was going to happen and I was happy for them to play like that.’
It`s just a crying shame we succumbed to those two goals in two minutes late on, otherwise we`d be celebrating a great, and hugely unexpected, win.
