JAMIE CUMMING
Made one brilliant fingertip save to push a powerful Luca Koleosho strike away for a corner – 7.5
PETER KIOSO
The tricky Jeremy Sarmiento got in a couple of times, but otherwise it was a very disciplined display – 7.5
ELLIOTT MOORE
Marshalled the defensive unit really well and led by example when it came to defending his goal – 7.5
BEN NELSON
In from the start for his debut, and grew into the game after cautious opening stages – 7.5
CIARON BROWN
Admirable performance after shuffling across to left back. So consistent with his performances at the back. MAN OF THE MATCH – 7.5
RUBEN RODRIGUES
Worked hard throughout and helped United keep their shape with his disciplined performance – 7
WILL VAULKS
Back in the holding role and stuck to his task well. His leadership in a game like this cannot be underestimated – 7

Becoming a key cog and irreplaceable in midfield, especially with Cameron Brannagan sidelined – 7
TYLER GOODRHAM
Moved inside to midfield with just under 20 minutes to go and almost sniffed out an opener when he seized possession in a dangerous area. BOOKED – 7
MARK HARRIS
Offered good hold-up play when United got up the pitch and drew fouls from the Clarets backline – 7
SIRIKI DEMBELE
The most likely player to create a little bit of magic out of nothing. Fast becoming a fan favourite – 7
