CRICHTON: Little to do for the Clarets keeper who dealt comfortably with a handful of crosses after one early scare...6

PICKERING: Another top-class performance from Pickering who suits a wing-back role and passed the ball beautifully...9

COWAN: Also benefitted from the chance to get forward with a couple of perfect crosses and far post headers posing a first-half threat...7

MELLON: One of the midfield man's best performances yet as he revelled in Burnley's attacking football...7

DAVIS: Continued his consistent run of form with another solid showing...8

BRASS: Had his hands full with Lua Lua but emerged with honours even before a clash of heads ended his game at half-time...7 PAYTON: Came up with the goods when Burnley needed it most to confirm his value to the team and take himself to 20 goals for the season...9

JOHNROSE: Made his most major contribution to date, his aggression and ability to arrive late in the box earned him a goal and were telling factors for the Clarets...8

SUBSTITUTES

BRANCH: Excellent second-half showing should have done his confidence the world of good...8
