Leeds Edge Closer to Premier League Safety After 3-1 Burnley Victory

Anton Stach, Noah Okafor and Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored as Leeds moved to 43 points and stayed clear of the relegation zone.

  • On Friday, Leeds United defeated Burnley 3-1 at Elland Road, taking a significant step toward securing their Premier League status in Matchweek 35.
  • The result lifts Leeds nine points clear of the final relegation spot, while Burnley remains at 19th with 20 points after their loss.
  • Anton Stach opened the scoring in the 8th minute, with Noah Okafor and Dominic Calvert-Lewin adding second and third goals before Loum Tchaouna pulled one back in the 71st minute.
  • Interim Burnley manager Mike Jackson, appointed Thursday after Scott Parker's firing, admitted the team looked "shellshocked" during the opening 25 minutes of the match.
