A LOOK at the key moments from the game against Brighton.
BURNLEY
MARLON BERESFORD: Was hardly troubled until the mad closing minutes. Had handled everything well enough till then...7

IAN COX: Looked solid at the back as he walked a tightrope after an early booking...7
ARTHUR GNOHERE: Played well alongside Cox with some typically strong challenges in his snow white boots...7
MARK McGREGOR: Continues to impress in whichever role he has to fill, in at left back on Saturday...8
GLEN LITTLE: Got the opening goal and supplied the second with a fine cross but was ultimately disappointed...7
PAUL WELLER: Joined on the pitch by his nephews as the mascots for the game and carried on his recent good work...7
TONY GRANT: Tigerish in the tackle, might have won a penalty and looked a lot more confident than of late...8
ALAN MOORE: Worked hard up and down the left wing with a number of useful challenges but little impact in attack...6
GARETH TAYLOR: Had regular debates with the referee as he did battle with the back three for the Seagulls...6
