CLARETS reporter Tyrone Marshall hands out the ratings for Burnley's win at Cardiff City.

Joe Hart 8

A fine low save from Zohore in the first half and then a tip over from Murphy in the second half. Commanding from throws and set-pieces.

Matt Lowton 6

Wayward with his passing in the first half and given a tough test by Murphy, who had acres of space to score

James Tarkowski 6

A frustrating afternoon after taking a cross in the shoulder. Battled on for a while but soon withdrawn for Long

Ben Mee 7

Enjoyed a real physical battle with Paterson and dealt with it really well as Cardiff went for the aerial bombardment

Charlie Taylor 6

Got lucky with a couple of scuffed clearances in the first half when the Clarets under pressure. Improved after that

Johann Berg Gudmundsson 8 (Man of the Match)

Picked up where he left off last week. Burnley’s best attacking threat, he leapt brilliantly to score with his head and then created Vokes’ goal with a clever volleyed cross.

Ashley Westwood 7

Game rather passed the midfield by in the first half, but Westwood looked good on the ball when he could get it and provided a smart pass to help set up Vokes’ goal

Jack Cork 7

Looked the most technically accomplished player on the pitch in the first half as he tried to keep the ball on the deck

Aaron Lennon 6

Saw little of him going forward but did the defensive hard work in providing Taylor with cover down Burnley’s left

Matej Vydra 6

Wasted Burnley’s best first half chance with a wild shot, but did take up some clever attacking positions

Sam Vokes 7

Marked his 100th Premier League appearance with a goal, doing really well to get enough power on his header to divert it home
