* Brad Friedel (Blackburn, PL) vs. Fulham, 2-1.

Started: 90 minutes. Less than two weeks after undergoing surgery on cartilage in his knee, Friedel gave an amazing performance.

He saved a long-range free kick from Steed Malbranque, thwarted a Luis Boa Morte breakaway, stopped a penalty kick from Steve Marlet and made three key saves in the last 12 minutes of the game.

''IÆm not going to tell you how good he [Friedel] is but he did his bit,'' said Blackburn coach Graeme Souness, who recently dubbed the U.S. keeper the best in the Premier League.

''Their keeper was great and made three fantastic saves – the penalty and he kept out two on the line,'' said Fulham assistant coach Christian Damiano.

Friedel was named man of the match. Blackburn is in eighth place.

* Kasey Keller (Tottenham, PL) at Birmingham, 1-1.
