burnley Owner Scott Parker Said two moments of brilliant performance as his team won 2-0 at home leedsWhich took them out of the relegation zone of the Premier League.
England’s greats kyle walker Leslie delivered a superb, arching cross for Ugochukwu to give Burnley the lead at the interval, before substitute Lum Chaona’s stunning second-half strike sealed their second league win of the season.
Otherwise, it was Leeds who created the better chances, albeit without seriously testing Martin Dubravka when the goalkeeper blocked Brendan Aaronson’s first-half effort onto a post.
Parker said: “In the context of the professional game, you are relying on talent and the first goal showed that with Kyle Walker’s cross.
“If you could put the ball where it needed to go, you would be in the right place and execute the header. Those are great margins, that’s the quality you need in this league.
“And the second goal is probably symbolic of that as well. I would like to sit here and say I had an influence on him, or that we train for him.
“But it’s some quality and individual talent that obviously gave us a bit of a reprieve at the back end (of the match) at 2-0, because the (Leeds) pressure came on a bit, which you would expect.”
French winger Chouna, a summer signing from Lazio, scored his first Burnley goal in spectacular fashion with a 30-yard shot which went under the crossbar.
Leeds remain in 15th place, one point above Burnley and three points clear of the relegation zone after slipping to their fourth league defeat of the season.
The visitors were guilty of constantly wasting half-chances and when the head coach was asked where his team went wrong Daniel Farke Said: “Both boxes if I’m honest.
“In an away game at Premier League level, you can’t have better statistics than today.
“We dominated in every aspect, possession, shots, shots on target, big chances, expected goals, corners, everything.”
Farke said he was pleased with his team’s defending after restricting Burnley to few openings, while he acknowledged the quality of both of their goals.
He added: “We defended well, we didn’t let much happen, but a situation before half-time, a quality cross from Kyle Walker and a really good header.
“The second was a surprise strike, a crazy turn of the ball. Yes, we could have got out a little earlier, but generally there was not much to moan about.”
