Cotterill hails Jensen

Saturday Oct 29 2005 12:20

Burnley manager Steve Cotterill was quick to praise goalkeeper Brian Jensen after the Dane produced a series of fine saves during the Clarets' 1-0 win against Hull City.

A 29th-minute strike from Ade Akinbiyi settled the Turf Moor clash, but Cotterill admitted the visitors were unfortunate not to claim a share of the points.

"We are delighted with the clean sheet and we are delighted with the three points," he said.

"I thought Ade's goal was terrific but other than that it did look like it was our third game in six days.

"Hull came here and played a good game and probably deserved to get something out of it but that's been us this season so we are delighted with our win."

He added: "It's about time our goalkeeper was man of the match because we have played against a few goalkeepers this season that have been man of the match.

"I don't like that we have played at home and our goalkeeper was man of the match but we will take it."
