Arijent Muric- 8

Didn’t have much to do, except from rushing out to head the ball away, until late on when he made an incredible save against Teemu Pukki.

It was the type of save that wins you games.

Vitinho- 7

The fullback caused havoc down Norwich’s left-hand side. Linked up well with Nathan Tella to create chances and space for others.

Jordan Beyer- 8

Very solid. Showed great composure in progressing the ball with his dribbles out the back and complimented Harwood-Bellis perfectly.

Taylor Harwood-Bellis- 8

The centre back was first to every ball and commanded the back line well.

He showed off his passing range with some beautiful balls to the wingers, who would end up creating something.

Along with Beyer, he helps to make the Burnley defence robust.

Ian Maatsen- 8

Similar to Vitinho. The former Coventry man was a nightmare for Max Aarons as he combined well with Zaroury to make things happen.

Jack Cork- 7.5

Cork put in a great shift in front of the defence helping to keep Norwich quiet.

Josh Brownhill- 8

The midfielder wasn’t afraid of getting forward to support his teammates in attack, and showed fantastic energy levels at both ends of the field.

Johann Gudmundsson- 7

Gudmundsson put in a solid display during his 64 minutes on the pitch, producing a couple of dangerous balls into the box.

Anass Zaroury- 7

The winger was tricky with the ball, and caused lots of problems down the left-hand side. Drew fouls from Max Aarons several times.

Nathan Tella- 8

The Southampton loanee was problematic for Norwich’s defence throughout. He found some great positions and forced Isaac Hayden to play carefully after getting him booked.

Jay Rodriguez- 8

Good hold-up play throughout the match with a confident penalty to finish it off and seal the win.

Substitutes:

Connor Roberts- 6

Solid when he came on off the bench. He did well to help his side see the game out.

Charlie Taylor – N/A

Manuel Benson - 7

Didn’t see too much of the ball but was effective when he did. Played some good crosses into the box, earning the penalty with one of them.

Halil Dervisoglu - 6

The attacker came on late and held the ball well while Norwich tried to find an equaliser.
