​Burnley midfielder Cork: Heaton pivotal for survival

Burnley midfielder Jack Cork believes their goalkeeper is a key man in their bid to stay in the Premier League.

Like five or six other teams, Burnley are fighting to ensure they are not the third team relegated - with Huddersfield and Fulham already looking doomed.

While Cork knows that everyone at the club must perform in these last games to the end of the season, he also believes that Heaton can make the pivotal difference.

"Heats is unbelievable," said the midfielder to reporters.

"He's a great goalkeeper, a great shot stopper.

"He's our captain so it's great having him there.

"He's had a lot of big performances. He brings a calming influence and makes big saves at crucial moments to keep us in games."
