Boss Kit Symons reckoned he has come to expect top drawer saves from his Fulham keeper.

Not bad for a young custodian who was thanking his lucky stars at getting loaned out to Accrington Stanley last term. Marcus Bettinelli has come on leaps and bounds since he grabbed the gloves, and after two top saves from Jermain Defoe on Saturday, came out on top here as well.

He was a couple of points ahead of central defender Shaun Hutchinson, back in his native North East, and right-back Jack Grimmer is going to need to pull out all the stops and get a few points higher in next Tuesday's replay, if he is to keep new loan signing Jazz Richards at bay.
