I didn’t see it as we should have got three points. Maybe we had couple of chances and should have scored but I thought at times it was a tough watch, so many balls in the box from them etc, but suppose yes we defended that well with our two big CBs. Wonder how much of an effect the weather had on the game. 

We won xG so we deserved the win

Don’t really get the criticism of Dieng. Anyone shooting from there would be aiming for near thepost and a goalkeeper needs to be out on 6 yard line, or even a little further, to cover angles. If he had stayed on his line and the ball had gone near the post he wouldn’t have had a chance. Just bad luck that wind caught it exactly right for Burnley.

Yeah, even Scott Parker said as much himself.

""The weather probably plays a big part in it. The goalkeeper’s position was high. I’ve not looked at it back, but maybe the conditions have had an impact on that. The flight of the ball was out all night. When it goes up in the air you just don’t know where it’s going to land and that affects the judgement of the players.

Corners, set plays, the general flight of the ball, it’s something the players now can anticipate usually. It’s probably fair to say the weather had a huge impact."

Any highlights anywhere that shows the entire build up to our goal. My memory tells me that it started with Borges and Burgzorg with intricate close passing and a ridiculous backheel from Delano and then the ball went out to the right where we build up finishing with Barlaser's pass and Dijksteel's finish. In the euphoria at the time I may be misremembering?
