""Sometimes you surprise yourself as a goalkeeper," Gordon told BBC Scotland. "That was definitely one that I thought was a goal, but decided to go after it anyway and somehow managed to claw it out. "That really does feel as if it was one of my best.""
""I spoke to Craig at length before the game," the Dundee head coach said. "He's been starved of opportunity and you wonder if it's going to affect his performance... wow, it seems to have improved it. "He made a couple of big saves today. That's the reason they're top of the league, they have a second-choice goalkeeper who's world class.""

Gordon described the stop as possibly one of his best and admitted surprise at committing to it. Opponents and pundits compared the moment to historic saves, and former coach Steven Pressley hailed Hearts' backup goalkeeper as world class.
