THE key stats and figures from Burnley's win over Stockport County.

NIK MICHOPOULOS: Hurt in a challenge with Shefki Kuqi he battled on. Should have done better with the cross for the County goal but made a key save...7

DEAN WEST: Kept working the flank well maintaining his good form of recent weeks. Important link with Little...7

ARTHUR GNOHERE: Not at his imperial best and sold his keeper short with a poor back header that led to him being hurt...6

IAN COX: Like Gnohere was unsettled by the impressive Kuqi and was less composed than normal...6

GRAHAM BRANCH: Another poor game was typified when he blasted over on the stroke of half time when the ball broke to him in the box...5

GLEN LITTLE: Cool conversion from the spot for his ninth goal of the season and settled the game with two moments of magic...8

KEVIN BALL: Battled hard as ever in the midfield but missed the craft and guile of Grant alongside him...6

LEE BRISCOE: Again showed his versatility with a combative display in midfield that earned him the sponsors' man of the match award...7

ALAN MOORE: Some positive contributions as he continues to prove to be one of the bargains of the season...7

IAN MOORE: How he loved to score against his old club, his first Turf Moor goal in more than three months...7

GARETH TAYLOR: Once again showed that if the crosses come in he will convert them. Nine goals, nine headers, that's magic...7

TALKING TACTICS:

STAN Ternent reverted to a 4-4-2 formation by recalling Gareth Taylor in attack alongside Ian Moore, suspended Tony Grant missing out.

That meant a match up as County played the same way.

SOCCER HERO:

AFTER some less than impressive games Glen Little was back to his mercurial best. The two second goals were down to his skill

THE VILLAIN:

SHEFKI Kuqi may not have been wanted by Blackburn but he caused the Clarets defence plenty of problems with a hard running display

SKILL SPOT:

A NUMBER of contenders but it has to be the run and cross by Little that set up a simple finish for Ian Moore

08Nik Michopolous makes a sharp save and holds Kevin Ellison's shot

09Damien Delaney brings down Gareth Taylor in the box and Glen Little tucks home the spot kick

11Poor defending in the Burnley area leaves Gary McSheffrey with a simple header to score

30Alan Moore feeds Little on the right and his low shot is saved by Lee Jones

44Graham Branch blasts over after Jones fails to hold West's cross

51Ian Cox heads weakly at goal after being found unmarked by Lee Briscoe's free kick

61Kuqi outpaces Arthur Gnohere, his shot is saved and Ellison fires the rebound wide

66A great cross from Little is headed home by Taylor

71More Little magic, this time down the left, and Ian Moore is left with a simple finish

90Kuqi forces another good save from Michopoulos from a free-kick

90The Finn finally beats the Greek, this time from a penalty after Taylor is adjudged to have handled
