Tom Heaton 6
Footwork could have been sharper for the second goal but also suffered as his defence let him down for all three goals
Kieran Trippier 6
Involved in both goals but could have been out quicker to block Gayle for first, and caught out with ball over his head for third
Michael Keane 6
An excellent block on Dwight Gayle in the second half but struggled in a physical battle with Sanogo
Jason Shackell 6
Not his best game. The Clarets captain struggled to lead from the back and was wasteful in possession at times
Ben Mee 6
Good work to get his goal but he struggled against Zaha’s pace and trickery when the winger was moved to his flank
Scott Arfield 6
Excellent persistence for the second goal, but struggled to help Mee with Zaha and drifted out of the game
Dean Marney 5
Midfield completely overrun by McArthur, Ledley and Puncheon and failed to get any control of the game back
David Jones 5
Similar to Marney. Couple of dangerous crosses early on but couldn’t stop Palace being the dominant team
George Boyd 5
Probably his poorest performance in a Burnley shirt. Never really got into the game, despite his best efforts
Ashley Barnes 5
Another who struggled to make his mark on the game. Unable to give Delaney and Dann the physical tussle he so enjoys
Danny Ings 7
Very calm finish to put Burnley 2-0 up and showed some good touches when running the flanks in the second half

Matt Gilks, Michael Duff, Steven Reid, Michael Kightly
