Leeds had few scoring opportunities in the first half, but a loose pass from Jaidon Anthony gave them a gilt-edged chance. Jack Harrison slipped Brenden Aaronson through on goal, but Martin Dúbravka made a heroic save, tipping the effort onto the post.

Burnley's lead going into halftime was a rare occurrence for the team, as they had yet to lead in any match this season in the top flight. The Clarets' strategy of defending and then counter-attacking had been effective in the past, particularly in their Championship-winning season alongside Leeds.

Despite their best efforts, Leeds failed to score against Burnley, missing another gilt-edged opportunity shortly before the hour mark. Sean Longstaff floated a perfect cross to the far post, but Jack Harrison's volley sailed over the bar.

Burnley sealed the win with a stunning goal from Loum Tchaouna, who unleashed a powerful shot from 30 yards that flew over Karl Darlow and into the top corner. Leeds continued to push forward, but were unable to find a way back into the game.

The match belonged to Burnley, who ended a six-match winless run in all competitions and secured just their fourth win from their last 25 Premier League home games. The victory will give them a much-needed boost in their quest for survival.
