The England international inspired as the Clarets claimed a vital point against West Ham United at the London Stadium.
He somehow clawed Issa Diop’s header off the line with the score locked at 1-1 and then stood tall to deny Michail Antonio in a one-v-one.
It could, however, have been so much different for the visitors, who squandered the opportunity to take a two-goal lead from the spot.
Maxwel Cornet dragged his spot kick wide of the upright in first half stoppage time when going down under the challenge of Lukasz Fabianski.
Wout Weghorst opened the scoring with his second goal for the club, heading home the rebound when under pressure from Tomas Soucek after Jay Rodriguez had headed a corner against the bar.
But the Czech midfielder made amends in the second half when getting on the end of Manuel Lanzini’s free kick to equalise.

Went about his business quietly, yet controllably, after being restored to the side under interim boss Michael Jackson. Pressed the ball well when the Hammers moved the ball around the penalty area and pressurised the ever-impressive Rice in an attempt to make life more difficult for the England international.

10. Jay Rodriguez 6
Won the header from Cornet's corner that led to Burnley's opener, as Weghorst reacted first when his strike partner's header cannoned back off the bar. Battled well with both centre backs, Dawson and Diop, and able to get the visitors on the ball in advanced positions as a result. Ended the game on the right hand side of midfield.

11. Wout Weghorst 6.5
Scored the opening goal when showing quick reactions to get to the rebound before Soucek after Rodriguez's header had come back off the bar. Goal-scoring opportunities were few and far between for the Dutchman thereafter, but he dropped deep to get on the ball and won free kicks in promising positions for the Clarets. Photo: Ryan Pierse
12. Josh Brownhill 5.5
Introduced at Westwood's misfortune on the half-hour mark. The midfielder was energetic in the middle of the park, but couldn't really get a grip on the game. Lacked composure in possession on occasions, conceding possession when too slow on the ball, and one such instance led to the break that brought the Hammers' equaliser. Photo: Alex Pantling
