Brad All Over

Blackburn Rovers goalkeeper Brad Friedel earned himself a place in the Team of the Week in the Actim Index, the official player ratings system of the Barclays Premier League. Friedel was the top-ranked keeper after scoring 18 points in his side`s 1-0 win at Portsmouth.

It helped lift him two places to 27th overall, making him the third-ranked goalkeeper so far this season behind Liverpool`s Jose Reina (25th position) and Pompey`s David James (26th).

The trio are separated by just eight points in the race to be the Index`s number one stopper.
