After 8 minutes in the first half, Leeds took a 1-0 lead when Yaka Bjol assisted Anton Stach, who shot a precise left-footed goal; the half ended with this score.

In the second half, at the 52nd minute, Leeds extended their lead to 2-0 as Jayden Bogle crossed to Noah Okafor, who scored cleanly.

At the 56th minute, Dominic Calvert-Lewin added a third goal on a rebound, but Burnley pulled one back at the 71st minute through Lum Chana, making it 3-1.

No further goals were scored in the remaining time. Leeds United won 3-1, raising their total to 43 points and climbing to 14th place, improving their survival chances. They lead 18th-placed Spurs by 9 points, albeit having played one extra game. Burnley, already relegated, remain 19th with 20 points.
