He walked the man of the match, polling 73.5% of the vote. Such was his share of the vote that no other player received double figures. Left back Danny Fox came second with 8.5% and a 4.0% share of the vote was enough to give Jack Cork third place.
Things were no different in the player ratings. Eagles had a rating of 9.11 out of 10 and that's the first rating this season to go above nine. He was again some distance ahead with Fox again coming second with a rating of 7.58. Iwelumo, who scored his first away goal of the season, took third place with a rating of 7.42 out of 10.
It gives Eagles the maximum six points towards the Clarets Mad Player of the Year. Fox picks up four points with one each for Cork and Iwelumo. With those points added it reduces Cork's lead at the top to fourteen points with Fox moving up a couple of places.
The voting is currently underway for the Cardiff City game man of the match and ends at the end of tomorrow.
