Patrick Bamford’s late equaliser rescued Leeds a point in a 1-1 draw at Burnley to leave both sides chasing their first Premier League win of the season. Chris Wood gave Burnley a second-half lead against his former club, but Bamford celebrated his England call-up with his first goal of the season with five minutes remaining. The Leeds striker then headed the ball against the base of his own post following another Burnley corner as the game opened up, but it remained goalless at half-time. Burnley – who signed Maxwell Cornet from Lyon earlier in the day – continued to disrupt Leeds’ rhythm. Pascal Struijk was the fifth player booked for his lunging challenge on Wood as Leeds struggled to breach Burnley’s defence.
