A LOOK at the key moments from the game against Sunderland.
BURNLEY
BRIAN JENSEN: Superb display, leaving even Mick McCarthy singing his praises after an array of stunning stops. 9
DEAN WEST: Handed the short straw as he came up against Downing and his electric pace. Substituted. 6
MARK McGREGOR: Can hold his head high after a terrific display alongside May in his first start of the season. 8
DAVID MAY: Shrugged pre-match sickness off to marshall the back line magnificently. 8
MO CAMARA: Eager to contribute at both ends in his best display for some time. 8
LUKE CHADWICK: Might have done better with first half chance, but still gave his all as he stepped up his recovery. 7
RICHARD CHAPLOW: Fourth booking in as many games - and a subsequent ban - marred another impeccable performance. 8
TONY GRANT: The glue that held everything together in his best display in a Burnley shirt. STAR MAN. 9
GLEN LITTLE: Grew in stature as the game went on after another low-key start. 7
ROBBIE BLAKE: At his impish best throughout as Sunderland never got to grips with his silky skills. 8
IAN MOORE: Covered every inch of the Stadium of Light and illuminated the afternoon with a fully-deserved goal. 9
SUBS: PAUL WELLER (for Chadwick 67) Played his part in goal. 7. LEE ROCHE (for West 72) Shored things up. 7 Not used: MATT O'NEILL, JOEL PILKINGTON
