Lee-Barratt arrived from Coventry in May 2007

Hartlepool United manager Danny Wilson has highlighted the contribution of goalkeeper Aaran Lee-Barratt after Tuesday's 1-0 win at Carlisle.

Pools were cruising at 1-0 when Carlisle's Danny Graham found himself free in the area but Lee-Barratt kept the lead intact with a stunning save.

"Two weeks ago we'd have been punished but Aaran came to our rescue," Wilson told BBC Tees.

"It was a fantastic save, but they'll look at it as a missed chance."

At the other end of the field James Brown took his tally for the season to seven in all competitions with a calm finish.

And Wilson admitted he has been impressed with Brown's sharpness and the overall team play that produced the goal.

"It was a great finish, and that's what the kid can do," he said.

"That was possibly one of our best moves of the game.

"When we got the ball and played a few little passes we looked good and that's where the goal came from."
