The key stats and moments from the game against Fulham.

BURNLEY

MARLON BERESFORD Did not have to make a serious save in the first half until he had no chance with the goal. Commanded box well... 8

DEAN WEST Battled hard against the ever dangerous Steed Malbranque and earned a booking in the process ... 7

IAN COX Continued his excellence from the Coventry game and made four vital headers in the opening couple of minutes ... 8

DRISSA DIALLO Gets better with every game, if that is possible. A massive presence at the back, he was outstanding again... 9

GRAHAM BRANCH Important headers, great tackles and brave blocks as he took on Bjarne Goldbaek and Steve Marlet ... 8

IAN MOORE Was tireless in his slightly withdrawn role and on a number of occasions showed his pace with strong forward runs... 8

TONY GRANT Once again got a foot in when it mattered and was also eager to support Taylor from midfield... 7

PAUL COOK Filled the holding role very well, sitting in front of the back four and once again winning plenty of headers... 7

LEE BRISCOE Even used his right foot at times as he worked hard in the middle but at times late on he conceded possession too cheaply... 7

ALAN MOORE His superb early goal was the signal for his best display in months. Fine passes, good pace and real desire... 8

GARETH TAYLOR Battled manfully throughout the game as he ploughed a lone furrow but he was willing to chase lost causes... 7
