CRICHTON: Barely tested, the keeper showed some useful sweeping skills to confirm an 18th clean sheet of the season...6

COX: Gave the ball away a couple of times from the back before half-time but nothing got past him and Burnley are yet to concede with him in the team...7

THOMAS: Invariably first to the ball when it was knocked towards the Wigan front men, a late missed chance was the only thing to spoil his day...7

MULLIN: A real livewire in midfield, his direct running made him a constant threat to the visitors...8

BRANCH: Wigan couldn't live with his pace when he had the chance to break forward in the first half and only the final ball occasionally let him down...7

COOK: Majestic performance in midfield. Never wasted a pass and showed the start of a fine understanding with Ian Wright...8

DAVIS: Was in the right place a couple of times to break up potentially dangerous Wigan attacks in the first half before taking the chance to break forward after half-time...7

JOHNROSE: Provided the grit in Burnley's midfield but might have used the ball better on a couple of occasions...6

COOKE: Got on the end of a couple of things in the first half to try his luck at goal and linked well with Ian Wright a number of times... 7 WRIGHT: Did everything but score and still looked a quality player with a sure touch and an eye for goal...8

LITTLE: Frustrating before the break, the wideman threatened to unlock the Wigan defence after half-time before collecting a nastly looking injury...7

SUBSTITUTES

SMITH: Didn't get much joy out of the referee or Scott Green but showed encouraging signs that his sweet left foot is getting back to working order...6

WEST: Not a natural winger, he kept Burnley pushing forward on the right flank after Glen Little's departure

JEPSON: An unlikely partnership with Ian Wright almost did the trick late on
