DAVIS: A couple of breaks from the back didn't come off but defensively he was spot-on...8

BRANCH: Settled well into the wing-back role and led some of Burnley's best first-half attacks down the left flank...8

JOHNROSE: The ball winner in midfield, Johnrose came into his own in the second half when the chips were down...7

COOKE: The workhorse up front, he didn't stop running all afternoon and never gave the Bournemouth defence a moment's peace...7
