Michopoulos: Had hardly anything to do but was left exposed for the goal...7
Thomas: His pace was tested a couple of times by striker Barry Hayles but solid and provided cross from the right wing for the equaliser...7
Cox: Another excellent game at the centre of defence keeping Portuguese striker Luis Boa Morte relatively quiet...8
Armstrong: Moved between midfield and defence. Furious at Lee Clark for making a meal of a challenge after Armstrong had already been booked...7

Weller: Had a tough battle with John Collins in midfield but came off the better. Worked extremely hard...8
Cook: Involved in a lot of the action, never stopped challenging...8
Taylor: Superb debut. Got his head to a lot of balls, almost scored and set up the equaliser...8
* Moore: Never stopped running, never stopped working, scored and set up the winner. Deserved the crowd's huge applause...9
Branch: Again used in both defence and attack and made some telling runs down the left wing...8
Subs
Johnrose: 90th minute sub. Not much time to make an impression.
Mellon: Came on with seconds to spare Fulham Taylor: Turned his namesake Gareth's shot round the post...7
Finnan: Neat chip to set up Hayles for Fulham's goal...7
Brevett: Shakey at times under pressure from Little and Weller...6
Melville: Taylor won a lot of the headers against Fulham's central defence...6
Symons: Appeared to drag Moore back in the area but nothing given...6
Clark: Covered the pitch and was clean through at one stage before Davis made a last-ditch tackle...8
Collins: Lacking match fitness after three months out...7
Hayles: Eight matches out but still had the nose for a goal...7
* Goldbaek: Caused danger on the right wing...8
Boa Morte: Kept quiet by Burnley's defence...7
Davis: Made a firm challenge to deny Moore racing in on goal...7
