Premier League RATINGS: Crystal Palace v Burnley
Burnley produced one of their best performances of the season to record their biggest Premier League win in almost 12 months.
The Clarets put three past Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park to climb to 15th in the table while opening up an 11 point gap from the bottom three.
Johann Berg Gudmundsson and Jay Rodriguez gave Sean Dyche's side the best possible start when putting the away side two goals up inside 10 minutes.
Matt Lowton then netted his first top-flight goal for Burnley in the second half with a tremendous volley.
However, a serious-looking injury to captain Ben Mee put a blot on an otherwise perfect day for the visitors.
Here are the RATINGS.
Matt Lowton then netted his first top-flight goal for Burnley in the second half with a tremendous volley.
5. Ben Mee 8.4
Tactically astute, leading Burnley into a higher defensive line, winning high balls on the halfway line to put Palace on the back foot. Phenomenal in the air and on the ground, but worrying to see the skipper stretchered off late on.
6. Johann Berg Gudmundsson 8.5
His partnership with Lowton was a valuable asset for the Clarets. Gave the visitors the best possible start, with his second goal in as many games, and looked back to his best on the ball. His quality forced Van Aanholt to stick, rather than twist.
7. Dwight McNeil 8.6
Very impressive for the Clarets on the counter and equally as good off the ball. Made 30/40 yard runs to cover the full back at times. Assured with the ball at his feet, drifting inside and on the outside of his marker, and delivered the corner for the second goal.
8. Ashley Westwood 8.3
Took control of the midfield alongside Cork. Pressed hard to keep the visitors on top, won his 50-50s, turning the ball over in advanced areas, and out-performed both Riedewald and Milivojević in the middle.
