Austin save one of my best - Heaton

It was a fine showing from Tom Heaton, but the England goalkeeper was left to rue Burnley's defeat against Southampton.

Tom Heaton ranks his first-half save from Charlie Austin's header among the best in his career, but says Burnley's 3-1 loss at Southampton renders his fine performance insignificant.

England goalkeeper Heaton was in fine form at St Mary's Stadium, making 11 saves - a Premier League-high this season - including a superb parry from Austin's glancing header in the fifth minute that he tipped around the post.

However, Heaton was powerless as Austin scored twice either side of Nathan Redmond's effort to put Saints three ahead, with Sam Vokes' penalty a mere consolation for the Clarets.
