Grant stars at Hull

Last updated : 14 March 2011 By Tony Scholes
Grant made one top save in the first half but came into his own after the break with a series of outstanding saves as Hull threatened to get back into the game. It was, without doubt, his best performance for Burnley.

That performance won him a 45.3% share in the man of the match vote and that was well ahead of central defender Michael Duff who seems to enjoy playing at the KC Stadium. Duff picked up 26.1% and there was a 13.4% share for Nathan Delfouneso, who scored the only goal of the game on his debut, giving him third place.

There was no difference in the player ratings but the gap between Grant and Duff in the first two places couldn't have been closer. Grant's rating of 9.14 out of 10 won it but Duff was right behind with a rating of 9.13.

They were a considerable distance ahead of the rest and it was Delfouneso again who came in third with a rating of 7.86 out of 10, just beating Clarke Carlisle who also had an outstanding game.

The man of the match percentages and the player ratings per player are now shown below and will continue to be for future games.

The man of the match vote is currently underway for the Millwall game. That will run until the end of tomorrow and will immediately be followed by the Coventry game.
