Pride The Prize For Pope

Nick Pope took pride rather than silverware as the reward for a magnificent season as the Clarets’ goalkeeper just missed out on a share of the Premier League’s golden glove.

Pope went into the final day of the campaign level with Manchester City’s Ederson in the contest to keep the most clean sheets in the top tier.

But Burnley’s 2-1 home defeat to Brighton, coupled with City’s 5-0 rout of bottom club Norwich City, saw Ederson top the pile as Pope's remarkable attempt to become the first keeper from a team finishing outside the top six to take the prize faltered at the final hurdle.
