Patrick Bamford denied Burnley a first home win since February with his late poacher’s effort earning Leeds a 1-1 draw at Turf Moor.
Leeds had been happy enough to go toe-to-toe with the Clarets’ attritional style before Burnley’s pressure finally told on the hour mark for the opener, when Chris Wood’s glancing touch on Matt Lowton’s shot from a corner deceived Illan Meslier.
It looked like Leeds would live to regret Raphinha’s wasteful miss before half-time as Burnley began to believe their run of 11 Premier League home games without a win would finally be ended, until Bamford turned home Jamie Shackleton’s effort from four yards with five minutes remaining.
“That’s where you want your strikers to be, in between the posts, and he got his rewards for it,” former Leeds forward Robbie Keane told Sky Sports after full-time.
The point apiece means both Burnley and Leeds are still hunting for their first win of the campaign with three games gone but does at least move Sean Dyche’s side out of the bottom three for the first time this season.
