# Norwich City: Fans praise Ben Godfrey despite 2-0 defeat away to Burnley

**Norwich City fans praised central defender Ben Godfrey after his message for the fans following the 2-0 defeat away to Burnley.**

The Canaries went down 2-0 to Sean Dyche’s side after two goals in four minutes from Chris Wood brought the side back down to earth after their 3-2 win over Manchester City [(via BBC)](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49698430).

Godfrey put in a decent performance at Turf Moor, making the most interceptions and being the only defender in Daniel Farke’s side not to commit a foul [(via WhoScored)](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1375992/Live/England-Premier-League-2019-2020-Burnley-Norwich).

The England youth international has been an ever-present in Farke’s side this season, owing to his consistent displays for the Norfolk side [(via Transfermarkt)](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ben-godfrey/leistungsdaten/spieler/343475).

The German manager has been praising the centre-back this season, saying he can be ‘the best’ and can become a ‘world-class’ defender [(via Eastern Daily Press)](https://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/norwich-city/canaries-farke-hails-world-class-potential-of-godfrey-1-5672611).

Despite the defeat to Burnley, fans took to Twitter to praise the defender for his performances so far this season.

Here is a selection of tweets from the Carrow Road faithful:
