Tom Heaton 7
A confident command of his box helped the defence. Only stretched for the goal, and at 1-0. Undone by cruel deflection
Kieran Trippier 7
Mostly accurate with long and short deliveries and linked well with Arfield, Boyd and Taylor down the right to work ball from back to front
Michael Duff 7
Took no prisoners in his aerial duals, perhaps using the constant niggly provocation by Vardy as fuel. Unlucky deflection led to goal
Jason Shackell 6
Competed effectively with Ulloa to render the striker ineffective. Steered a dangerous Vardy cross away with a timely flicked header
Ben Mee 7
Forced the issue down the left when trailing and forced a save via a deflected cross-shot
George Boyd 5
The winger has been a terrific engine for the Clarets this season, but was not at the races and struggled for creativity
Scott Arfield 6
Caught in a catch 22 situation. Would offer the threat needed out wide but is needed in central midfield in Marney’s absence
David Jones 6
Steady if not spectacular. Helped keep possession but Burnley were crying out for more of a cutting edge
Matt Taylor 6
Missed penalty was the game changer, but the experienced wide man had also brought a good first-half save from Schmeichel
Lukas Jutkiewicz 5
Spent too much time in the channels and not enough in the box after being handed his first start for six months
Danny Ings 6
Turned Huth inside out to fashion a shot but didn’t ask enough of Schmeichel, whose parry prompted the penalty
Substitutions: Ross Wallace (for Boyd 71) Marvin Sordell (for Jutkiewicz 71) Michael Kightly (for Taylor 86)
Not used: Matt Gilks, Stephen Ward, Michael Keane, Fredrik Ulvestad.
