Ruben Amorim has had his first rant of the season after a reporter suggested Tom Heaton would have been a better choice between the sticks.

Bayındır was voted Player of the Match in an FA Cup third round victory over Arsenal last January, saving a Martin Ødegaard penalty in normal time before producing more spot-kick heroics in the subsequent shootout. Amorim hailed him as “our hero” that night and insisted that he remained “unbelievable” on Sunday.
