Leeds United claimed all three points with a dramatic finish at Elland Road.

The game changed with just two minutes remaining when Brian Easton put through his own goal.
Ross McCormack brought the roof off Elland Road in the fourth minute of injury time when he walked the ball in after Lee Grant could not hold onto a shot from Andros Townsend.

Burnley started brightly and Edgar headed over from a corner.
Charlie Austin then had a great chance for Burnley after a poor clearance by Patrick Kisnorbo.
Austin beat Darren O`Dea but blazed wide with only Andy Lonergan to beat.
Leeds were forced into a reshuffle when Patrick Kisnorbo went off injured inside twenty minutes.
Austin then went close when Lonergan tipped his shot over the bar.
