LOOK at the key stats and moments from the game against Walsall.
BURNLEY
MARLON BERESFORD Possibly caught out for the visitors' goal but otherwise another excellent display as he looks for a long contract...8
DEAN WEST Was ignored on a couple of occasions as he flew down the right and he continues in consistent form...7
IAN COX Had to battle hard to weather a late storm as his partnership with Gnohere continues to blossom...8
ARTHUR GNOHERE As strong as an ox he also used the ball well although sometimes his confidence threatens to be too great...8
GRAHAM BRANCH Built on his fine display at Hillsborough with a solid game that again saw him get forward well...7
GLEN LITTLE Denied a third goal in three games when his shot was tipped over but set up the second with a lovely low cross...7
STEVE DAVIS Leads by example and is growing into his new role in the middle of the park...8
PAUL WELLER Is again playing catch up when it comes to fitness but will have benefited from over an hour of action...6
PAUL COOK Began with a narrow role just in from the left before assuming a more central role alongside Davis...6
ROBBIE BLAKE Netted his first Clarets goal at Turf Moor and finished in a style that suggests many more will follow...7
IAN MOORE Did not always take the right option but his pace was a menace and he was unlucky to hit the post late on...6
SUBS:
TONY GRANT (58 for Cook) Great ball for second goal...6
BRAD MAYLETT (63 for Weller) Electric pace was great weapon...7
