Sean Dyche is absolutely fuming at full-time, approaching the referee and berating him about the controversial decision to disallow Barnes' seemingly fair gal in the first half. His post-match interview should be interesting...

And that's full-time! Leeds' rear guard have done the job. It wasn't a vintage attacking display from the hosts after half-time but they've got the three points thanks to Bamford's penalty.
90+4'
Meslier doesn't get a hand on the resulting corner but Alioski bails him out by hacking it away! The Frenchman makes amends for his error by flapping away the next ball into the box.
90+3'
Burnley whip in another free kick with venom, but Meslier is there again to tip it over!
90+2'
Pope comes up for a pair of corners but it's his opposite number who makes them his own, with Meslier punching both clear.

Barnes goes into the book for an expletive-ridden tirade at the officials. We're into three minutes of added time and Burnley's frustration is there for all to see.
89'
Phillips has arguably been the best player on the pitch in the second half, making clearance after clearance and header after header for the hosts.
85'
There's just five minutes to go here. Can Burnley summon something and get the chance they need?

CLOSE!
Barnes hooks across a ball to the other side of the six-yard box, where Rodriguez is waiting. He lashes a left foot at it but it flies over when he should have done better.
80'
Fine defending!
Hernandez latches onto a through ball inside the box and tries to lay it off to Bamford for a simple finish, but Tarkowski gets across to make a crucial intervention.
77'
This second half has flown by. Leeds have been happy to play on the break, with Burnley more on the front foot. But they visitors have been lacking the cutting edge so far...
74'
Burnley are changing up their system, with Rodriguez joining Wood and Barnes up top. Sean Dyche is certainly going for it.

SAVE!
Barnes forces Meslier into his first meaningful save of the afternoon, latching on to his strike partner Wood's flick on and volleying towards the near post, but the Frenchman beats it away.

SAVE!
Hernandez runs the length of the Burnley half and shoots from just outside the box. Pope makes a fingertip save to deny the hosts a second and concede a corner but should he have fed a team-mate?
70'
It's often been a criticism of Leeds this season that they know of only one way to play. But they've eschewed their attacking instincts after the break and are happy to sit in and see off the Burnley threat.

Leeds attack for the first time in a while, with Klich feeding Dallas. The former Brentford man's shot from outside the box is well over, though.
61'
Phillips makes another fine headed interception as another cross goes in towards Wood. Burnley's best path to goal is certainly the aerial route.

Brownhill has a dig from distance but it's straight down Meslier's throat and a routine save.
55'
There's certainly a lot more urgency to Burnley's place a the start of the second half. They're finally putting Leeds under a bit of pressure and stringing a few passes together in the opposition half.

Raphinha cuts in from the right and tries to shoot, but Mee throws himself in front of the ball to make the block.
