Grant was instrumental in keeping us level in the first twenty minutes of the game, making three saves, two of which were excellent saves, to deny Coventry an early lead.
Although unable to keep a clean sheet, his performance left him the winner of both the man of the match vote and the player ratings, the latter by some distance.
He polled 27.6% of the man of the match vote to see off Michael Duff who came in second with a 21.5% share of the vote. Dean Marney, with 15.3%, was third.
In the player ratings, Grant was again the winner and his rating of 76.9 out of 10 was a long way ahead of Marney who was second this time with a rating of 6.16. Charlie Austin, scorer of the Burnley goal, was third with a rating of 6.09 out of 10. These three players were the only three to have a rating above the average six out of ten.
This result gave Grant six points towards the Clarets Mad Player of the Year with Marney securing three points, Duff getting two points and one point for Austin.
Those points have made things very interesting at the top of the player of the year table. Trippier still leads by three points but Grant has now joined Jay Rodriguez, who looked the likely winner until his injury, in second place with Marney just a further four points behind.
