Episode 279,   Dec 12, 2023, 05:04 PM

It's been a long time coming, but Burnley have bagged precious points in recent weeks - and the draw at Brighton was thanks largely to MOM, James Trafford.

The uber confident 21-year-old made 10 saves to silence The Seagulls in a performance to show the Premier League he has very much arrived.

Returning from a short absence was Alisson, whose presence between the sticks aided Liverpool's comeback at Crystal Palace. Emi Martinez, meanwhile, revelled in a raucous encounter between Aston Villa and Arsenal, both Jose Sa and Matt Turner regained their respective No1 spots and many congrats go to Remi Matthews who finally earned his top-flight bow at Selhurst Park.

In the EFL, Cam Dawson enhanced his ridiculous penalty-saving stats, Asmir Begovic led QPR's revolution under Marti Cifuentes, Colchester loanee Owen Goodman sounded the Goalkeeper Assist klaxon and Joe Walsh bagged his first-ever professional start as an emergency loan acquisition at Accrington.
