This Leeds performance was a far cry from their display in the 3-1 victory at Wolves in their previous away game. Despite enjoying 68% of possession at Turf Moor, the visitors' best opportunity was Brenden Aaronson's first-half effort against the post, which came after Jaidon Anthony had gifted them possession deep inside the Burnley half. Dominic Calvert-Lewin started for the fourth game in succession but failed to manage an effort on target and remains stuck on only one goal since his summer move from Everton.
This Leeds performance was a far cry from their display in the 3-1 victory at Wolves in their previous away game.
Despite enjoying 68% of possession at Turf Moor, the visitors' best opportunity was Brenden Aaronson's first-half effort against the post, which came after Jaidon Anthony had gifted them possession deep inside the Burnley half.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin started for the fourth game in succession but failed to manage an effort on target and remains stuck on only one goal since his summer move from Everton.
The striker's only shot of the first half - a wayward bicycle kick - was emblematic of Leeds' struggles as they ended the game with only four shots on target from 19 attempts overall.
The visitors pushed and probed in the second half but rarely looked like breaching Burnley's organised backline, with Jack Harrison twice firing well wide from outside the area.
While Leeds' tally of eight points from as many games is far from disastrous, Saturday's result increases the pressure on manager Daniel Farke and his players before another important game next weekend against struggling West Ham at Elland Road.
