How we rated the Irons against Burnley

Hughie hands out his marks

Fabianski: Almost had an afternoon off but was a tad fortunate with a shot that went wide near the end . And please get the attacks set up quicker Fab – you take far too long clearing the ball. 6

Coufal: A quieter afternoon and possibly a slow start when caught out of position a couple of times, After that it was business as usual – another excellent day for the Czech 7

Dawson: He looks as though he’s been in the team for months – steady as a rock 7

Ogbonna: Running out of words to describe the guys excellence. Never troubled – always the boss 8+

Cresswell: Interesting that when Burnley attacked it was down his side. Gave away a very dangerous free kick and there were some sloppy passes at time but did ok getting forward 6+

Soucek: Usual top level midfield performance. 7

Rice: Ditto above and nearly found the net with a great free kick. Enjoying watching him getting forward a lot more 7+

Fornals: Really impressed. Probably his best game in the claret and blue. Great ball in for Mikey’s goal and plenty of attacking impact. Enjoyed this performance 8

Benrahma: Another who produced what I considered his best game. Always menacing on the ball but he needs a little more vision when taking on one defender too many 7+

Bowen: Outstanding. Created chances, always looking to relieve pressure, forever playing perceptive balls and once again ridiculously subbed 8+

Antonio: As good as new. Always causing trouble and we became a different team with Haller gone and Mikey back to near his best. 8

Subs

Yarmolenko: Why, why, why, the same thing every week. Him on, Bowen off. Shocking decision when trying a shot with Mikey in acres of space. Is there a buyer out there? 3 

Lanzini: Plenty of stuff showing when he was on the ball but Benrahma was having a very good game and had a right to feel disappointed. 6
