Tom Heaton deserves his place in the England squad

England have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to goalkeepers and the performance of Tom Heaton on Sunday showed why he is currently England’s number three. Although his side lost, Heaton made several excellent stops, including a break-taking one from a Charlie Austin header. It was the save of the season so far and the Burnley goalkeeper will need to make a lot more like that if his team is going to stand a chance of securing survival.

Heaton made an incredible 11 saves on Sunday and deserves a lot of credit for his performance. It is a worry for Burnley that their goalkeeper is having to do so much work and it raises questions about their defensive organisation. That said, Heaton was superb and should be in the Premier League next season even if Burnley are not.
