THE key stats and moments from the game against Gillingham.

BURNLEY:

MARLON BERESFORD: Gave away a penalty for the second time in a fortnight and had little chance with any of the goals...6

DEAN WEST: Involved in the first Clarets goal and scored a stunning second but was at fault for the second goal...6

DRISSA DIALLO: Did okay for most of the match but collapsed a little at the end amid the general chaos...6

ARTHUR GNOHERE: Tends to throw in a performance like this every now and again and two crazy miskicks were typical...5

MARK McGREGOR: Did nothing wrong in his short spell on the pitch as he made way for Glen Little in the 24th minute...7

TONY GRANT: Once again bypassed by much of the game and his passing was too often wide of the mark...5

PAUL COOK: Never seemed to get his anger at the first goal out of his system and some of his crosses were well wide of the mark...5

LEE BRISCOE: Had to go to hospital with another injury having played both midfield and left back in the first half...5

IAN MOORE: Took his goal well enough but did not have a happy afternoon as he was well looked after by the Reading defence...6

ROBBIE BLAKE: An unhappy anniversary a year after his Burnley debut but he was missed when they got the penalty...6

GARETH TAYLOR: His recent good form was missing as he struggled to make an impact. Headers and lay-offs were misplaced...5

SUBS: GLEN LITTLE (24 for McGregor) Early introduction but well below par 5 ALAN MOORE (h-t for Briscoe) No impact 5 DIMITRI PAPADOPOULOS (69 for Blake) Crucial miss 5

SUBS NOT USED: Nik Michopoulos, Ian Cox
