All eyes were on Selhurst Park when West Ham visited on Monday. Were they driven purely by Spurs-schadenfreude, or a pure love of the Premier League? We cannot say for certain. Although we can lightly speculate that only Crystal Palace and Tottenham fans had a vested interest in south London defeating east.
Naturally, the dampest of damp squibs was duly delivered. As only Burnley have scored fewer goals at home in the league this season, perhaps it is not completely surprising - even if the club has been in good form.
However, as an avid point-respector and defensive-football advocate, it is worth giving some credit to those players in the back line in such a stalemate.
It was only at the start of March that I had discussed the patience that may be required with leaning on a young defender, . Seven weeks on, that thought process may have been far too cautious.
