'The most extraordinary game I've attended'

I'm still catching my breath after being at just about the most extraordinary game I've ever attended, at Turf Moor on Saturday.

Only the 6-6 League Cup draw at Dagenham in August 2014 provided more drama, twists and turns and general swings of emotions than this.

To go from quite frankly coasting at 3-0 up after some sparkling football to thinking we'd blown it at 4-3 down - before VAR saved us once - was only half of it.

To then rise from the depths of that moment to settle in my mind for a draw, only to experience the pure elation of what we thought was a 94th-minute winner was something else.

But to then have that moment of joy seemingly snatched away from us by what we thought was Burnley's fourth… only to wait and wait through an interminable second VAR check to learn we'd got away with it blew my mind!

When the full-time whistle finally went, it didn't feel like we'd won at all.

That sounds odd to say, but that was honestly how I felt.

Of course I was delighted and the players' celebrations in front of the away end were great - with the usually reserved Mikkel Damsgaard lapping up the deserved "oles" - but it didn't half feel like we'd got away with it.

Both the disallowed goals were at the other end of the ground so all we could see was shoddy defending and not whether the decisions were right or not.

But even though they went in our favour, it's ridiculous that they took so long to decide.

Without Burnley's first goal in first-half stoppage time and the hope it gave them, our collapse may not have happened.

However, it's a good lesson to learn with six difficult away games - five in the Premier League and one in the FA Cup - to come.
