Loum Tchaouna scored one of the goals of the season as Burnley powered to their second Premier League victory, beating Leeds United 2-0 at Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon.
The Clarets gave their opponents a lesson in finishing after converting two of their three shots on target as they ended their six-match winless run across all competitions.
The hosts went ahead in the 18th minute after Lesley Ugochukwu capitalised on a quality ball from Kyle Walker before heading the ball past Karl Darlow, scoring his second goal in as many Premier League outings.
Leeds dominated proceedings, boasting almost 70% possession and producing 19 shots, though they lacked a clinical edge up front and squandered a host of opportunities.
Burnley kept their rivals at bay before extending their lead through Tchaouna, who scored a goal-of-the-season contender, finding the back of the net with an almighty rocket from 25 yards out.
SPORTS MOLE'S VERDICT
Leeds United manager Daniel Farke looks frustrated after a Premier League defeat
Leeds went into the international break on the back of some promising performances, though any momentum they built during that time has seemingly disappeared following their loss at Turf Moor.
Daniel Farke’s men had no problem creating goalscoring opportunities, though they are clearly struggling when it comes to converting them into goals. Striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin had a particularly slow day at the office, firing all four of his attempts off target.
Burnley, on the other hand, will be thrilled with the result, considering they are trying to turn Turf Moor into a fortress – an important aspect of their survival strategy this season.
The Clarets have now picked up seven points from their four Premier League matches at home, with Liverpool being the only team to prevail at the ground back in mid-September.
While it is much too early to call this game a six-pointer, the three points won by Burnley could go a long way come the end of the season.
