Tom Heaton - 7
The skipper didn't have much to do other than pick the ball out of the net and organise his defence. It was an unexpected quiet afternoon for him.
Matt Lowton - 7
Came in to the side for the injured Phil Bardsley to make his 100th appearance in a Burnley shirt. He didn't look like he'd been short of action for one minute. Was very energetic down the right and defended well against the talented David Brooks.
Ben Mee - 8
Won everything in the air and followed up on his man of the match showing against Wolves. Had a chance to score with a header himself, but was unable to direct it on goal well enough.
James Tarkowski - 7
Always defends strongly and full of commitment, put in a vital block to keep his side in the lead. Needs to sort his passing out as many of them have been wayward for the last few games now.
Charlie Taylor - 7
Capped off another solid defensive display. Was up against Ryan Fraser fresh after marking Adama Traore last week, but did a stellar job. Played a massive part in Burnley scoring their third.
Jeff Hendrick - 7
Did a job for the side by playing out of position again, but the Irishman puts in a shift on gets on with it.
Jack Cork - 7
Kept hold of the ball well in the midfield and really got at the two of Jefferson Lerma and Dan Gosling. Every second ball, he was first to. Broke up play well as usual.
Ashley Westwood - 9 man of the match
A goal and an assist for the midfielder - you can't ask for much more. The delivery for the Chris Wood's header was brilliant - deep, and took the goalkeeper out of the equation. Took his goal really confidently.
Dwight McNeil - 8
Caused England international Nathaniel Clyne all sorts of problems down his side, so much so he had to be subbed at half-time. He is really maturing in the way he performs each week.
Ashley Barnes - 7
Started off poorly by heading in to his own goal, but that didn't affect him and rounded off his afternoon with a goal.
Chris Wood - 8
One of his better displays of the season. Used his size well to hold the ball up and bring others in to play. Deserved his goal.
Subs: Johann Berg Gudmunddson on for Hendrick 82'
Bournemouth XI: Begovic; Clyne, Mepham, Aké, Smith; Brooks, Gosling, Lerma, Fraser; King, Wilson
