Burnley 4 Sunderland 1: Match ratings, did anyone stand out for Black Cats?
SUNDERLAND 4-2-3-1
Vito Mannone: First appearance since August and will have been disappointed to have conceded first to Gray and made poor effort at second too. 5
Billy Jones: Got forward well early on and unlucky to be booked for challenge on Ward to put him out of Liverpool game. Ended game as stand-in centre-half and was one of few to emerge with credit. 6

Hide AdLamine Koné: Early finish after hurting his thigh in collision with advert hoarding. 6
Papy Djilobodji: At fault for opener, should not have gone to challenge Barnes for header. 5
Patrick van Aanholt: Got forward but distribution poor. 5
John O'Shea: Recalled but in midfield though soon ended back in his favoured role after injury to Kone. Afternoon to forget. Subbed with 18 to go. 5
Seb Larsson: Clumsy foul on Arfield for fourth home goal summed up dire afternoon for Cats. Poor challenge. 5

Hide AdAdnan Januzaj: Instant recall and set up Defoe goal with mazy run. 5
Fabio Borini: Had a shot blocked in first half but was otherwise ineffective, though he was not alone. 5
Victor Anichebe: Massive blow to see giant striker go off after damaging his hamstring chasing Boyd. 6
Jermain Defoe: Had only a few touches up front on his own but took his chance well. 6

Hide AdSubsDidier Ndong (for Kone 24): After being dropped, he was given an early reprieve after the exit of Kone but was unable to make any real impact. 5
Steven Pienaar (for Anichebe 46): He has been missed in midfield but looked a little rusty on his return and when he trod on the ball it gave Burnley possession to set up their third goal. 5
Donald Love (for O'Shea 72): Played right-back and a last-m inute clearance prevented Burnley getting a fifth. 6
