Tom Heaton 8

Good save from Moses and good hands to hold Adam effort. Commanded his area brilliantly as Burnley came under increasing pressure in the second half.

Kieran Trippier 7

Moses took the direct route at Trippier every time he got the ball but the full-back stood up well. Lucky to get away with a sloppy clearance late on.

Michael Duff 8

Made a vital block on a Moses shot as the pressure increased and stood up to everything that was thrown at the Clarets in the second half.

Jason Shackell 9

An excellent performance from the captain. He made a vital header to take the ball away from Diouf in the first half and won everything in the second.

Stephen Ward 9

Grew in stature as the game went on and in the final 10 minutes he was winning every challenge and header to repel Stoke’s attacks.

Michael Kightly 8

A great return to his former club. Helped distract Begovic for Ings’ first goal and supplied a lovely cross for the second after beating Shawcross.

Dean Marney 8

Took an elbow from N’Zonzi at one point and worked his socks off to try and stem the tide of Stoke attacks as the game wore on.

David Jones 8

Made a superb defensive header at one corner and immediately raced out to put off Bardsley as he lined up a shot, but along with Marney struggled to gain control.

George Boyd 7

Excellent industry again working back to help his defenders, but decision making occasionally a little poor, especially with a late counter in the first half.

Danny Ings 9

His two goals were tap-ins, but his movement for the second was excellent, and his work rate to help defensively was exceptional.

Ashley Barnes 8

Had a big hand in both goals. Superb control and cross for first, and a delightful flick to set Kightly free for the second.
