Heaton In Team Of The Week

Burnley are represented in the latest Football League team of the week that has been selected after this week’s action.

The performance by Tom Heaton in Burnley’s one-nil win at Ewood Park against Blackburn on Saturday was enough to earn a place in the side alongside the other most impressive performers in the Football League pyramid.

I think we’ll already know ourselves, and not just based on the latest performance, why Heaton was selected as part of the team but explaining the choice – the Football League blurb read.

‘Burnley won at Ewood Park for the second time in succession thanks to Scott Arfield’s second-half strike, but Heaton was in impressive form to deny Blackburn Rovers.

‘The Clarets skipper made a number of good stops to keep their East Lancashire rivals at bay, including a save with the last touch of the match to deny Shane Duffy an equaliser.’

It’s always good to see us represented in this way, and well played to Heaton for his recognition, but the most important thing about the weekend was of course the three points from the Lancashire derby!

Full Team – Tom Heaton (Burnley), Andrew Robertson (Hull City), Carl McHugh (Plymouth Argyle), Hayden White (Blackpool), Fernando Forestieri (Sheffield Wednesday), George Thorne (Derby County), Abu Ogogo (Shrewsbury Town), Darren Ambrose (Colchester United), Zak Ansah (Newport County), Moussa Dembele (Fulham), Aiden O’Brien (Millwall).

Manager – Martin Allen (Barnet)
