How we rated the Irons v Burnley
Cresswell: A great attacking option we could use more. Credit to him, he jogs back and goes again 7
Reid: Kept Vokes very quiet. Lots of rough and tumble at both ends. Bundled over and won the crucial pen 7
Ogbonna: Blamed the floodlights for an air shot in the first half. Couldn’t blame them for some other sloppy passes 6
Kouyate: Spent a fair bit of time in the warm-up practising passes to and from Noble but didn’t have much chance to apply that in the match. Comfortable return to the team 6
Noble: Scored our deserved goal at the second attempt from the spot. Could move the ball on a little quicker sometimes 6
Obiang: His usual mix of crisp passing and tactical fouls. Manages the game very professionally 7
Lanzini: Surprisingly subbed just as Manu was starting to find gaps in the Burnley defence 8
Payet: Seems to have added an appetite for closing down and tracking back to his attacking prowess. Did well in unexpected areas 7
Antonio: Wide right tonight and looked very weary. His efforts leading the line on Sunday taken their toll, perhaps 5
Carroll: AC and Mee launched themselves at each other for 81 minutes non stop. Match report might not mention him much but I thought Carroll did everything we could expect from him 7
Subs
Ayew: The first player to run in beyond Carroll on 77 mins. Looked sharp and nearly doubled the lead in stoppage time 7
Fletcher: Arrived as we moved to a flat back five to close out the game 5
Nordtveidt: No disasters this time, phew! No rating
Special mention: Burnley boss Sean Dyche who called his staff and subs out of the dug out to line up for the minutes applause in memory of Peter Brabrook. A classy gesture.
