Brian Jensen
On a superb night for Burnley, Jensen made three good saves topped by a penalty save from Michael Carrick and he was a massive winner in the man of the match vote, polling 57.1% of that vote.

New signing and debutant Andre Bikey came second with 17.4% whilst his fellow central defender Clarke Carlisle took third place with 7.9% of the vote.

The same three players took the top three places in the player ratings on the message board and in the same order. Again Jensen won it with a rating of 9.50 out of 10, and that's set a standard for the highest rating of the season.

Bikey's rating was 8.98 and just behind him came Carlisle with a rating of 8.86 out of 10.

That gives Jensen the maximum six points, Bikey gets four points with Carlisle getting two to add to the four he got at Stoke on the previous Saturday.

Those points go towards the Clarets Mad Player of the Year and here's the table after the first two games.

6: Clarke Carlisle & Brian Jensen
4: Andre Bikey & Tyrone Mears
3: Wade Elliott
1: Graham Alexander
