It made no difference, and in a game where Burnley were never really under any serious threat from Leicester, he turned in probably his best performance yet in a Claret & Blue shirt, and incredibly he nearly didn't make the game himself.

In the man of the match vote on the site he claimed 28.3% of the vote to take all three points. Andy Gray, scorer of the only goal of the game, was in second place with 23.1% and taking the one point in third place was Wade Elliott, who had his best game of the season. He had 11.0% of the vote.
It was the same with the message board player ratings for Carlisle. He scored an average rating of 8.76 out of ten and that was some way clear of McCann who was in second place with an average of 7.81. Just behind McCann was Elliott with an average of 7.71 to take third place.
