BPF’s night as Taylor wins first player of the month
Burnley went out of the League Cup last Wednesday, beaten 3-0 at home by holders Manchester City on what was the final day of September.
Bailey Peacock-Farrell was the star of the show for the Clarets, making a string of fine saves as he took on City and mainly Raheem Sterling on what was his home debut for the first team.
He won the man of the match handsomely, picking up 68% of the vote with Charlie Taylor taking second place with just a 13% share. James Tarkowski, in his first match of the season following a toe injury, was third with just 4% while 3% of the vote saw Josh Brownhill and Dwight McNeil jointly take fourth place.
The top places in the player ratings were the same players with Peacock-Farrell at the top again with a rating of 7.52 out of 10 and Taylor second; his rating was 6.88. Tarkowski followed with 6.36 and Tarkowski was third with 6.36. A rating of 6.20 gave McNeil fourth place.
Man of the match and player ratings together has given Peacock-Farrell the maximum ten points towards the Up the Clarets Player of the Year. Taylor has won six points with four points for Tarkowski, two for McNeil and one for Brownhill.
Those points have kept Taylor at the top of the table and given him our first monthly award of the season, some seven points ahead of Brownhill who sits in second place.
