4 things we learned from Burnley v Stoke City

Mee deserved Man of the Match

If you want to test the character and resolve of your centre-halves, throw a determined, physical and resolute Stoke City at them.

Michael Keane has been getting the national plaudits, however, Ben Mee has been absolutely outstanding for The Clarets and the 27-year-old is a future club captain in the making.

The former Manchester City man never shirks a tackle and is usually the man putting his head in where it hurts.

The growth in his tactical awareness since he moved from left-back last season has been a test to how Mee has matured in this Burnley side, under the tutelage of Dyche.

George Boyd got the sponsors man of the match last night, however many would have given it to Mee.
