Brentford piled on further misery on Burnley with a one-sided 3-0 win at the Gtech Community Stadium this afternoon.

The Clarets could have no complaints with the result as they slipped to their seventh defeat from their opening nine games.

Here’s how Burnley’s players rated...

Kept Burnley in it at times with a string of fine saves. Almost embarrassed when caught taking too long on the ball though.

His needless dismissal summed up Burnley’s miserable day having been shown two yellows. Capped off a poor display.

Caught on the ball for Brentford’s goal which put the game to bed as a contest. Was a fitness doubt heading into the game.

Cleared one off the line, which at least helped to keep the score down. But struggled to deal with Brentford’s dangerous frontline.

Beaten for pace in behind too often. One of many who endured a long and tough afternoon at the back.

Had to walk a tightrope after being booked and struggled to get on the ball and dictate as Brentford controlled proceedings.
