THE key moments and player ratings from the game against Preston.

BURNLEY

BRIAN JENSEN: A black picture has been painted and there's no doubt the Dane will be disappointed with at least two soft goals.... 5

DEAN WEST: Excellent in Burnley's attacking frenzy, but got carried away and all too often holes were left at the back.... 6

DAVID MAY: Given a torrid time by Fuller, notably when he slipped his shackles in the first half to speed away and start the scoring spree.... 6

ARTHUR GNOHERE: Used his strength to good effect and chipped in with a first goal of the season on his lucky ground.... 7

MO CAMARA: Like West, his forays helped Burnley offensively, but also gave North End space in behind which they exploited.... 6

PAUL WELLER: Given the nod ahead of Luke Chadwick and gave as good as he got. An energetic midfield display.... 8

RICHARD CHAPLOW: Welcome return for the teenage terrier, who snapped and hassled every Preston player for 90 minutes.... 8

TONY GRANT: Tip-top once again and when his passing is this good, it makes the playmakers' jobs so much easier.... 8

GLEN LITTLE: If only he had gone for power rather than placement, the Clarets might have sneaked the win they deserved.... 7

ROBBIE BLAKE: At the centre of every Burnley attack and a sixth goal in six games was scant reward for an absolutely magnificent performance. STAR MAN.... 9

IAN MOORE: Selfless running as ever and lightening reactions to Chaplow's first half shot got him on the scoresheet again.... 8

SUBS: LUKE CHADWICK (for Weller 75). No real impact. 6. GRAHAM BRANCH (for West 85). JAY McEVELEY (for Camara 85).

Not used: LEE ROCHE, MARK McGREGOR

JONATHAN GOULD: Great saves.... 8

GRAHAM ALEXANDER: Poor.... 6

MICHAEL JACKSON: Dogged display.... 7

MARLON BROOMES: Very poor.... 5

PAUL McKENNA: Did he play?... 5

BRIAN O'NEIL: Battler.... 7

DICKSON ETUHU: Outfought.... 6

EDDIE LEWIS: Tricky customer.... 7

RICARDO FULLER: Premiership class.... 9
