A LOOK at the key moments from the game against Gillingham.
BURNLEY
NIK MICHOPOULOS A second successive clean sheet at home courtesy of several good saves, notably those that denied Danny Spiller...8
MARK McGREGOR Back in his more natural position of right back and once again he did not let anyone down...7
DRISSA DIALLO Got the vital second goal and was a commanding presence at the back with another new partner...8
GRAHAM BRANCH The Clarets have unearthed a defensive gem as Branch gets better by the match in his role in the middle...9
ARTHUR GNOHERE Had a spat with Simon Osborn but broke forward well on occasions although the final ball was not always the best...6
IAN MOORE Still running his socks off down the right and his cushioned header set up the opening goal...7
STEVE DAVIS Knocked a couple of inch perfect long passes but had his hands full with young Danny Spiller...6
PAUL WELLER Limped off just before half time after a busy match that saw him time a run well to meet a cross but his header was weak...6
ROBBIE BLAKE An unhappy afternoon was summed up when he fell over near the home bench. Lots of tricks but little end product...5
MATTY O'NEILL His long throws caused problems all afternoon, creating both goals, and he continued to look confident on the ball...7
GARETH TAYLOR Took his goal supremely well and was again a fine leader of the line. Best ever tally could be improved on yet...8
