The goal was a beauty, Dubravka initially repelled the shot but Cornet hit the rebound in.

Burnley fans have their hands on their head, Saint-Maximin poked the ball through to Wilson for a one-on-one with Pope. The forward tapped it home and now Burnley will need three goals if they are to stay up with Leeds in control at the Community Stadium.

There was no doubt at all with the VAR check taking no time at all for Raya’s blunder, which also earned him a yellow card. Raphinha’s hit has put Leeds three points ahead of Burnley, who are still losing to Newcastle.
The Leeds fans are all that can be heard in the stadium, what a moment!
Burnley now have to beat Newcastle if things remain as they are.
Brentford have made a chance as Jensen comes off for Dasilva.

Dubravka has already been forced to make a save as Burnley start brightly, knowing they need to score to remain in the Premier League.
Remember if Burnley and Leeds both draw it will be Burnley who stay up.
Mbeumo has got on the end of another Eriksen cross but he can’t capitilise, it has been a frustrating afternoon for the star.
Raya has also had to make a save as Rodrigo goes for goal! It’s starting to liven up.
