Substitute Jay Rodriguez scored an 89th minute winner, heading past Aaron Ramsdale from Ashley Westwood's cross to send the Clarets 10th in the Premier League. Here's how we scored the players on the South Coast.
9. Dwight McNeil 6
Showed glimpses of quality, but didn't see anywhere near as much of the ball as he would have liked. Worked hard up and down and was replaced by Brady when fatigue kicked in.
10. Ashley Barnes 5
Couldn't make the ball stick for the Clarets on an afternoon where very little fell for him. Finished the game on a booking and was replaced by goalscorer Rodriguez in the 75th minute.
11. Chris Wood 5
Shrugged off an Achilles problem to play, but failed to affect the game at the Vitality Stadium. Lost the aerial battle with Francis and Mepham and couldn't make the ball stick.
12. Aaron Lennon 5
Pinned Rico back when introduced and picked out the right pass when setting Westwood up to deliver the cross for the winning goal.
