West Brom ratings: Ousmane Diakite hits nine as Price nets twice against Burnley | OneFootball

Ousmane Diakite was Albion’s standout performer against Burnley, taking star billing with a nine in a raft of strong ratings. Harry Whitwell and Isaac Price found the net, while Callum Styles overcame an early own goal to impress after the break.

According to ExpressAndStar.com, Styles’ unfortunate touch put Albion behind early, before academy product Whitwell levelled. Price then struck with a trademark stunner and later converted a penalty.

Max O’Leary did all that was required, with no chance on the own goal, producing a big save from Broja and coping with a rogue Nolan Galves backpass. Galves showed adventure at right-back, though he might have stopped the cross for the opener. Nat Phillips and captain George Campbell were largely secure, Campbell dominant in the air despite one or two loose passes.

Styles recovered well on the left, linking neatly with Price and Jimmy-Jay Morgan. Diakite dominated the middle, defensively and in possession, continuing his upward curve for an outstanding display. Jayson Molumby brought energy and tidiness on his return, while Felix Horn Myhre showed flashes in a more advanced role.

Morgan worked selflessly in a more advanced role in Heggebo’s absence. From the bench, Barney Stewart arrived on 78 minutes and grafted, Rabby Nzingoula entered on 81 and looked exciting, and Chris Mepham featured at 90+3.
