He scored a superb equaliser in the first half and gave the Pompey back line a difficult time all afternoon. He certainly didn't deserve to end the game on the losing side.
Last week Cork took 72.6% of the vote but Paterson passed that and by some distance with 83.5%, just 3.3% fewer than Brian Jensen's best of the season at Chelsea. It left the rest of them picking up scraps and that meant 3.2% was enough to give Robbie Blake second place whilst Steven Fletcher claimed third place with 2.6% of the vote.
Again, in the player ratings on the message board, Pato was the easy winner with a rating of 7.86 out of 10. This time goalkeeper Jensen came second with 6.65 whilst a rating of 6.37 out of 10 was enough to give Cork third place.
Paterson therefore gets the maximum six points towards the Clarets Mad Player of the Year. There are two points each for Blake and Jensen with Fletcher and Cork both getting one point.
These are Paterson's first points of the season, and overall it has made little difference to the current Player of the Year Table although Jensen has now joined Tyrone Mears in fourth place.
