Sean Dyche rocked up at Selhurst Park with three goalkeepers and by the time he left it was a point of debate over whether he needed any of them.

But it was deeply impressive in the sense that Burnley turned up at ground that had seen four home wins in seven, withstood a closing 15 minutes of quite horrible pressure, and then departed without having faced a shot of any great substance.

Aside from attempts in the frenzy of stoppage time by Patrick van Aanholt and Gary Cahill, only the first of which carried any degree of difficulty, CrystalHolidays Nick Pope had a pleasant evening.
