Patrick Bamford s fifth-minute penalty was enough to see Leeds move up to 11th in the Premier League with a 1-0 victory over Burnley at Elland Road.
The hosts made the perfect start when Bamford fired home from the penalty spot for his 10th goal of the season after being brought down in the penalty area by goalkeeper Nick Pope.
Burnley, who controversially had an Ashley Barnes strike ruled out for an adjudged foul from Ben Mee on Leeds goalkeeper Illan Meslier in the first half, came on strong in the second half as they went in search of an equaliser, but they found no way through as Marcelo Bielsa s side, who missed plenty of first-half chances, held firm for a valuable three points.
