Farke's side went behind on 18 minutes as Burnley punished a number of errors with a wicked Kyle Walker cross and Lesley Ugochukwu's free header. Leeds were not switched on for a throw-in, needlessly conceded by Karl Darlow and then Anton Stach let the goalscorer escape him entirely.

The visitors should have levelled when Jack Harrison played Brenden Aaronson in on goal and the American's first-time strike was saved onto the post by Martin Dubravka.

Pascal Struijk's giveaway allowed Burnley to break in the second half and Loum Tchaouna sent a long-range rocket beyond Darlow to stretch the Clarets' lead and ultimately put the game beyond Leeds. Farke's men huffed and puffed, sent crosses into the box and squandered another couple of opportunities without ever really making Dubravka do much more work.

When asked where it went wrong, Farke responded: "In both boxes. In an away game on Premier League level you can't have a better statistic than we did, dominating each and every aspect. The problem in football is the only thing that is important for the result are goals.
