Player Ratings: Hull City 0-1 Burnley

Sports Mole rates the performances of the players that featured in Burnley's 1-0 win away at Hull City.

Burnley have been relegated to the Championship, despite the fact that they recorded a 1-0 win away at Hull City this afternoon.

The victory was secured thanks to a second-half strike from Danny Ings, who fired in a low shot.

Here, Sports Mole rates the performances of all of the players on show at the KC Stadium.

Goal

Steve Harper: There was not too much for the veteran to do, while he could also do little to prevent Ings from firing in the game's only goal. (6/10)

Defence

Michael Dawson: His impact on the team today was highlighted by the fact that Burnley scored when he was off the pitch receiving treatment for a bloodied nose. (6/10)

James Chester: It was a solid display from the defender, who made a number of interceptions and tackles. (6/10)

Paul McShane: He went close to breaking the deadlock during the first half and also defended well before he was sacrificed after the restart in favour of a change in formation. (6/10)

Midfield

Robbie Brady: The wing-back did not deserve to end up on the losing side today. Not only did he hit the woodwork twice with shots from distance, he also sent in numerous dangerous crosses. (8/10)

Ahmed Elmohamady: It was an afternoon to forget for the Egyptian, who missed a good chance in the first half and then committed an error which resulted in the Burnley goal. (4/10)

Tom Huddlestone: He kept possession well and also had a couple of shots from distance, but it was not his best display. (5/10)

Jake Livermore: The former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder was barely involved and so it was no surprise when he was substituted just 12 minutes into the second half. (4/10)

Stephen Quinn: It was an industrious showing from the Irish midfielder, who looked to break into the area whenever the opportunity arose. (6/10)

Attack

Dame N'Doye: Arguably the most disappointing showing that N'Doye has produced since his arrival in England back in January. His hold-up play in particular was poor. (4/10)

Sone Aluko: At times it was easy to forget that Aluko was on the pitch, such was the size of his impact. It was surprising that it took until the 66th minute for him to be replaced. (4/10)

Substitutes

Nikica Jelavic: Came on to try to spark his team into life, but the service into him was poor and so he made little impact. (5/10)

David Meyler: He worked hard in midfield and did not shirk any challenges. (6/10)

Abel Hernandez: The club-record signing almost scored with an audacious flicked effort, but that was as good as it got. (4/10)


BURNLEY

Goal

Tom Heaton: Had to rely on his crossbar on a couple of occasions, but also earned his good fortune with some smart work. (6/10)

Defence

Kieran Trippier: Usually so accurate with his crosses, Trippier appeared to have his radar switched off today. On too many occasions his passes failed to find their intended targets. (5/10)

Michael Duff: Having won his appeal against the red card that he received last week, Duff showed that, despite his veteran status, he is still a good reader of the game. (7/10)

Jason Shackell: Like Duff alongside him, Shackell was solid at the back. He headed away numerous crosses when Burnley came under pressure. (7/10)

Ben Mee: It was a steady enough showing from the left-back, who knows his limits and never looks to complicates matters. (6/10)

Midfield

George Boyd: Up against his former club, Boyd worked hard off the ball. However, he rarely got on the ball in areas of the pitch which could have resulted in him having a big say on the game. (6/10)

David Jones: His delivery from corners was dangerous but, apart from that, it was a quiet afternoon for the midfielder. (5/10)

Scott Arfield: In many ways it was a similar performance from Arfield to the one put in by Jones. He worked hard, but did not have much influence in an attacking sense. (5/10)

Matt Taylor: The versatile midfielder put in a good shift for his side and also produced one great cross which Barnes should have converted. (6/10)

Attack

Ashley Barnes: Will probably feel that he should have done better with a couple of chances, but his overall contribution was a positive one. (6/10)

Danny Ings: The reported Liverpool target got his first goal since February with an instinctive finish to cap what was a lively display. He made countless positive runs into Hull territory, one of which could have earned him a penalty on another day. (7/10)

Substitutes

Stephen Ward: Having returned from injury, Ward was given a run out towards the end and put in a good shift. (6/10)

Michael Keane: Came on late on to help deal with the threat that Hull posed in the air and did well. (6/10)
