Burnley Player Ratings

Nick Pope – 6.5/10
Nick Pope returned from his call-up to the England squad with a solid performance between the sticks. Didn’t have much to do apart from two good saves to keep his team ahead.

Matthew Lowton – 7/10
Nothing spectacular from the 28-year-old left-back. Was decent at the back and a pretty routine performance.

James Tarkowski – 6/10
Another Burnley player to return from the England set-up, put in a fairly average performance in this game. Won four of his aerial challenges and made two good challenges but he’ll be disappointed that he didn’t keep a clean sheet.

Ben Mee – 7/10
A solid performance from Ben Mee at the back, dominating in the air and passing the ball around well for his team.

Stephen Ward – 8/10
Stephen Ward absolutely dominated down the left for Burnley today and really kept the West Brom attackers at bay. He won seven aerial challenges, put in a couple of crunching tackles and also played some great passes. A great performance.

Georges-Kevin N’koudou – 7/10
Nkoudou had a very good game and was a good creative outlet for Burnley today. Had a couple of completed dribbles and two shots on target but he also worked hard in defence, breaking up the play and putting in a few good tackles.

Jack Cork – 6.5/10
A good solid game from Jack Cork who marshalled the middle well. Had a high pass success rate and kept possession well.

Ashley Westwood – 6.5/10
Another player who had a fairly ordinary game. Did nothing badly but did nothing excellent either.

Aaron Lennon – 8/10
A constant thorn for West Brom, he took on players down the right flank and got a good assist for Ashley Barnes’ goal.

Ashley Barnes – 7/10
Always a player to throw himself into challenges and put his weight about to win the ball for his team. He had a good game offensively, registering 3 shots and scoring a spectacular goal.

Chris Wood – 8/10
Another bulky striker who knows how to win the ball and win fouls for his team. Also did very well offensively and managed 4 shots on goal. Managed to grab a goal late on.

Substitutes
Sam Vokes – 6/10
Replaced Chris Wood after 78 minutes but didn’t really do anything of note.

Jeff Hendrick – 6/10
Came on in the 68th minute to replace N’Koudou. Made the Burnley midfield more solid and compact but didn’t really do anything special.
