Koné and Olise impress as Coudert shines for Burnley | OneFootball

Grégoire Coudert finally got his chance for Burnley on Saturday and delivered a composed display, although a stoppage-time strike denied victory. According to L'Équipe, the former Brest keeper joined in the summer as back-up.

Facing Derby County in the Championship, he settled a struggling side with a brave intervention in the 42nd minute, then saved smartly in the 46th. He produced another decisive stop in the 76th, before another important take in the 79th.

His work kept alive hopes of a first Championship win for the division’s bottom club.

He could do nothing about Mohammed Fuseini’s outstanding effort in the third minute of stoppage time, which denied his side the win.

A trainee airline pilot, Coudert still emerged with credit after a calm, authoritative performance in difficult circumstances.
