Nick Pope 6
Couldn’t do a great deal about the goal. Swept well behind the defence but kicking was uncertain
Matt Lowton 5
Couldn’t replicate his heroics from the bench a week ago on return to side. Limited threat down the right
Kevin Long 7 (Man of the Match)
A solid performance from Long. Made a good block on Abraham, showed a decent turn of pace against Jordan Ayew and handled his threat comfortably all afternoon. Looked more confident in possession and found Barnes and Vokes with angled passes
Ben Mee 7
Gave little away in defence and rarely looked troubled by the Swans attackers, even after changes
Charlie Taylor 7
Continues to impress in Ward’s absence. Defensively very strong, but gave away couple of late free-kicks
Aaron Lennon 6
Decent first half down the right, including a good late run, but drifted out of the game switched to the left
Jack Cork 6
Eager to impress on his return to the Liberty but found it tough going against Swansea’s three-man midfield
Jeff Hendrick 5
Another who found the shortage of numbers in the middle difficult. Well below last week’s standards
Johann Berg Gudmundsson 6
Bold early run as he charged down the left hand side. Burnley’s most creative threat, forced Fabianski into a save
Ashley Barnes 5
Couple of efforts from distance but couldn’t ruffle the feathers of Swansea’s defence
Sam Vokes 5
Shot on the turn in the first half but offered little apart from that and faded after an encouraging start
