We rate the Burnley players after their 2-1 Premier League win over Fulham. Ben Mee and Ashley Westwood impressed us but who was your man of the match? Have you say in the comments section below
Tom Heaton 7
Could do nothing about Schurrle’s early strike. Commanded his box well and made strong saves when called upon.
Phil Bardsley 7
Returned from injury at right back and offered a good attacking outlet. Coped well with threat of Sessegnon who was subsequently withdrawn at the break.
James Tarkowski 7
Back to his more familiar central role after playing right back in the FA Cup. Made a brilliant block on the line to deny Vietto in the second half.
Ben Mee 8
Enjoyed a battle with Mitrovic and kept the Serbian quiet all afternoon. Made several key interceptions and was neat and tidy in possession.
Charlie Taylor 7
Reverted to left back after playing further forward against Barnsley. Produced a dependable performance, defended well and got forward where possible.
Dwight McNeil 7
Fourth start on the spin for the teenager and he was again bright. Not afraid to take his man on, he also put plenty of crosses into the box.
Jack Cork 6
Occasionally caught on the ball but worked hard and tried to link the play between midfield and attack where he could
Ashley Westwood 8
Led the Burnley press well and made a number of recovery challenges to help the Clarets retain possession. An excellent display.
Jeff Hendrick 7
Asked to fill on the right side of midfield and responded with an encouraging display. Played his part in both goals in a lively first 45 minutes. Faded after the break.
Chris Wood 6
Struggled to get into the game, sent one fierce effort high and wide after the break. Replaced late on.
Ashley Barnes 6
Made his 100th Burnley start in the week he celebrated five years at the club. Worked hard but the front two didn’t see much of the ball.
