West Ham goalkeeper Fabianski: Pope earned Burnley their point

West Ham goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski was impressed by Nick Pope during yesterday's 0-0 draw at Burnley.

Fabiański was only called upon to make one save in the 90 minutes, but watched Pope make fine diving stops from Issa Diop, Saïd Benrahma and Jarrod Bowen at the other end as the game ultimately ended goalless.

“I think it could have been more, if you look at the way the game went," Fabiański explained. “We created some really good opportunities and the goalkeeper played really well and made some good saves.

“Overall, we know it's always tough to come here, always very physical, but I think we were really up for it and made some decent chances.

“We're pleased with the defensive performance and on the offensive side we can be pleased too up to the final bit of scoring a goal, but again you have to give big credit to Nick Pope."
