Suzanne Geldard rates the Clarets in their win over Derby...
TOM HEATON 8 Save from substitute Sammon's deflected effort was a key moment at 1-0
KIERAN TRIPPIER 8 Targeted by a physical Derby in first half. At centre of game's biggest talking point
MICHAEL DUFF 7 A tower of strength again at the back, especially in the air
JASON SHACKELL 8 Centrepiece of a solid backline. Got blocks and tackles in for a 15th clean sheet
BEN MEE 8 Covered well when second half substitute Bamford made inroads down left
SCOTT ARFIELD 8 Great feet and an excellent touch. One of the signings of the season in Championship
DEAN MARNEY 7 The fuel in Burnley's engine room, and got a key goal to cushion Clarets
DAVID JONES 8 A stunning goal, and a hand in the second that finished Derby off
MICHAEL KIGHTLY 6 Real determination to be first to the ball and pick out Ings in build-up to first
SAM VOKES 9 Always looked to put Grant under pressure and hassled centre halves non-stop
DANNY INGS 8 Possible frustration at not being on scoresheet but had a big role in both goals
