He made one terrific stop shortly after Norwich had taken the lead and had that gone in we could have been looking at a much different scoreline than 1-1 at the end of the game. The second of them came in the second half when he got down to his left to save superbly from Jason Shackell.

His performance won him the man of the match vote and the player ratings, and both by some distance. He polled 46.5% of the vote for the man of the match leaving the rest trailing. Steven Thompson grabbed our point saving equaliser and he was second with 10.0% and Robbie Blake, who played just over the hour, was third with 8.2% of the vote.

It was the central defenders who came behind him in the player ratings, but like every other outfield player they were a long way behind him. Jensen won with a rating of 8.31 out of 10. Steven Caldwell and Michael Duff shared second place but their rating was just 6.25, over two behind the Beast.

Jensen wins six points towards the Player of the Year. There are two each for Caldwell, Duff and Thompson whilst Blake edges closer to the top with one point. It is all tightening up at the top, Robbie is now just five points behind leader Martin Paterson whilst Jensen has now joined Chris Eagles in third place a further seven points behind.
