An unfortunate Kieran Trippier own goal proved to be enough for Swansea City to pick up a 1-0 victory against Burnley at Turf Moor.

In what was a scrappy affair, it took until the 64th minute for the deadlock to eventually be broken as Jack Cork's initial effort crossed the line following a mix-up between Trippier and Tom Heaton in the Clarets goal.

The Swans had star man Lukas Fabianski to thank for the three points, with the Polish stopper keeping out a late Sam Vokes effort to ensure that Garry Monk's men picked up back-to-back wins for just the third time this season.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how both sets of players performed during the 90 minutes of action in Lancashire.

BURNLEY

Goal

Tom Heaton: Had little to contend with, although more than once his kicking let him down and it almost proved costly when Gomis fired wide in the first half. Can hardly be blamed for the cruel own goal, though, which may well be credited to him after it has been reviewed by the dubious goals panel. He had done brilliantly to initially keep out Cork's close-range shot. (6/10)

Defence

Ben Mee: He was the hero at Stamford Bridge last week with a dramatic late leveller, but he did not really make much of an impact on this one. All of the Clarets' attacking play seemed to come through Trippier on the opposite flank. (5/10)

Jason Shackell: Looked solid enough for large parts, only to be denied a rare clean sheet under unfortunate circumstances. His distribution from the back was also decent. (6/10)

Michael Keane: Similarly, it was a good showing from Keane, with his first-half challenge on Routledge in particular a fantastic piece of defending. Tracked back and timed his tackle perfectly to deny the flying winger a shot on goal from inside the box. (6/10)

Kieran Trippier: Arguably Burnley's best player this afternoon, despite putting the ball into his own net 25 minutes from time, swinging in countless dangerous crosses from the right which ultimately came to nothing. Own goal the one big blemish on his performance. (7/10)

Midfield

George Boyd: Had just 12 touches of the ball across the 90 minutes, which is a truly staggering figure. He looked lively on the rare occasions that he had possession, firing away an early shot which Fabianski had to get behind. (5/10)

David Jones: Hard to remember him doing much of note, although much of his game is about keeping things tidy in midfield. (6/10)

Scott Arfield: Was bizarrely handed the sponsors' man-of-the-match award at Turf Moor, but it is difficult to pick out any real moments of quality from the Scot. His shot which went out for a throw in the early stages of the second half was horrendous. (6/10)

Michael Kightly: The biggest surprise from today's game was the fact that it took 75 minutes until the non-existent winger was replaced. Like Boyd on the opposite side, he struggled to get a hold of the ball. (4/10)

Attack

Ashley Barnes: Looked lively at times, particularly when testing Fabianski in the opening 25 minutes, but he was unable to end a bad week on a high. Withdrawn late on as Dyche attempted to change things. (6/10)

Danny Ings: While this was hardly his finest all-round performance, the Liverpool and Real Sociedad target showed great commitment to the cause by constantly running around, and it was his unorthodox flick which helped create that aforementioned chance which Barnes should have done better to convert. (7/10)

Substitutes

Sam Vokes: Given 15 minutes to help his side draw level, and he was impressive during his time on the field. Won a couple of headers and produced the Clarets' best moment of the game with his shot late on. (7/10)

Lukas Jutkiewicz: Came on for the final minute of the game, but he did not even have a touch of the ball. (5/10)

SWANSEA CITY

Goal

Lukas Fabianski: Man of the match due to his six saves, the best of which was left until last to deny Vokes. He really was the difference between one point and three for the visitors. (8/10)

Defence

Neil Taylor: A decent showing from the full-back, although he took a huge risk in the closing stages when he dragged down countryman Vokes inside the box. Referee Jonathan Moss was correct to wave play on in the end. (6/10)

Federico Fernandez: Caught out on a couple of occasions, first when he was turned by Ings inside the area, and also when he appeared to handle the ball following Kightly's flick. A 10th clean sheet of the season for his side was certainly warranted, however. (7/10)

Ashley Williams: Another fine showing from the Swansea skipper, who seemed to clear away every single cross which made its way into the box. A little lucky to avoid entering the referee's book when he caught Ings in the face with his elbow. (8/10)

Kyle Naughton: Did not offer his side a great deal in attacking positions, but defensively he remained solid throughout to play his part in the clean sheet. (7/10)

Midfield

Jonjo Shelvey: His vision to pick out the run of Routledge for Swansea's best chance of the first half highlights just what the England international is all about. Also linked up well with the winger to create space for his own shot which flew narrowly wide of the target. (7/10)

Jack Cork: He has certainly had better games during his career, yet it was he who created the game's only goal. Having latched onto Gomis's header, the former Southampton player turned the ball towards goal from close range, which led to Trippier's howler. (7/10)

Tom Carroll: Came into the side to replace the injured Gylfi Sigurdsson, although he failed to make anywhere near the same sort of creative impact as the Icelandic international does. Hauled off in the second half as Monk looked to provide some additional width through Montero. (6/10)

Ki Sung-yueng: He has been brilliant for the Welsh outfit this season, but this was a poor performance from the South Korean. Failed to help his side create any openings as they struggled to break into the final third of the field for large parts. (5/10)

Wayne Routledge: Was often the man that the Swans looked towards to create things, and he was involved in his side's best two moments in the first half. Perhaps should have scored when in on goal, while he also too often failed with take-ons. (6/10)

Attack

Bafetimbi Gomis: Monk's charges have now scored just six goals in seven games since top scorer Wilfried Bony jumped ship to champions Manchester City, and that has no doubt seen the pressure rise a couple of notches as far as Gomis is concerned. His header helped create the breakthrough goal, yet he had earlier skied a glorious chance over the bar. (6/10)

Substitutes

Jordi Amat: Brought on in the closing stages to shore up the defence, which he did adequately enough. (6/10)

Jefferson Montero: He was introduced with 30 minutes still to play and the game locked at 0-0 to provide Swansea with some much-needed width. Three minutes later and his side were ahead. (6/10)

Nelson Oliveira: The last chance of the game fell his way, and he so nearly squeezed the ball over the line from the tightest of angles. (6/10)
