Tom Heaton 8

Called into action a few times but the saves were mostly comfortable, although his handling was impeccable

Kieran Trippier 7

Showed great energy to get up and down the right hand side and wasn’t troubled too much defensively, with City rarely going down that flank

Michael Duff 9

A magnificent return. Reads the game so well and was one step ahead of Dzeko for most of the game

Jason Shackell 9

A true captain’s performance. Looked better with Duff back alongside him and the pair of them were superb

Ben Mee 8

In his best vein of form all season at the moment, dealt very well with the pace of Navas. Lucky not to concede penalty though

George Boyd 9

Took his goal brilliantly. Always tried to provide an option on the ball and covered plenty of ground once again

Scott Arfield 9

Outstanding in central midfield. A performance summed up by his second half swerve to leave Yaya Toure befuddled

David Jones 8

Strong performance defensively and always in the faces of Yaya Toure and Fernandinho as he set the tone for the Clarets

Ashley Barnes 7

Plenty of endeavour as you have to expect. Played in an unusual position for him but worked hard to help Mee and get into the box

Sam Vokes 9

His first Premier League start of the season and he gave Demichelis a torrid time, winning almost every ball that came his way

Danny Ings 7

His touch showed his quality once again, but guilty of choosing the wrong option in attack on a couple of occasions

 

Substitutes Stephen Ward for Vokes (86) Steven Reid for Ings (90)
