A LOOK at the key moments and facts from Burnley's game against Millwall.
BURNLEY
MARLON BERESFORD: Hailed by manager Stan Ternent for producing a "world class" save from Kinet and no chance with the goals...7
DEAN WEST: Had no hesitation in taking the penalty and hammered it home for his second goal in three games...7
IAN COX: Solid enough in the heart of the defence but his distribution may have been better at times...6
ARTHUR GNOHERE: Angered his manager with "unprofessional" behaviour after Moore's equaliser and made a couple of slips...5
LEE BRISCOE: Was given a torrid evening by the rampaging Ifill down the right and will not face many tougher opponents...5
GLEN LITTLE: A couple of little cameos but he could not make an impact on the game as he has done of late...6
TONY GRANT: Missed a golden opportunity to volley Burnley at 1-1 again but blasted the ball over to sum up his frustrating night...5
LENNIE JOHNROSE: Game too often passed him by as the Clarets lost the midfield battle. Once again guilty of wasting possession...5
ALAN MOORE: Not as effective as on Saturday but one great cross did almost create a goal for Papadopoulos on half time...5
DIMITRI PAPADOPOULOS: Won the penalty, forced a great save from Warner, set up Taylor and worried the defence all night...8
GARETH TAYLOR: Might have done better with a volley but had a header that forced a sprawling save and one against the bar...6

PAUL COOK (h-t for Johnrose)...5
ROBBIE BLAKE (66 for Little)...6
IAN MOORE (66 for A Moore)...7

SUBS...Harris (83 for Claridge)

TALKING TACTICS
BURNLEY started with the side that finished against Stoke at the weekend meaning recalls for Alan Moore, Gareth Taylor and match winner Dimitri Papadopoulos. Both sides went 4-4-2 but Paul Ifill had a roaming role. Burnley ended with all four strikers on as they chased a point.
HERO
IAN MOORE has had two reasons for sleepless nights, new baby Scarlett and no goals this season. If his young daughter behaved he should have had sweet dreams after his cool finish earned a point.
VILLAIN
THE roaming Paul Ifill was a tower of strength for the Lions and at the heart of most of their good work. He was heavily involved in both goals and gets the nod as villain over Steve Claridge who clashed with the home fans.
KEY MOMENT
TONY Warner may have fluffed a couple of crosses but his double save on the stroke of half time was vital as it kept his side level.
