Magic McCormack takes the drama to Loftus Road

Leeds met Burnley at Elland Road for this midday war of the roses clash with both sides striving to keep their Play-off aspirations alive. Simon Grayson made three changes to the side that lost to Palace. George McCartney came in for Paul Connolly, while Neil Kilkenny replaced loanee Jake Livermore and Ross McCormack entered the fray for the first time since January en-spite of Robert Snodgrass.

Leeds dominated throughout and will have been wondering how they weren't ahead was Paynter had two good chances. In the 33rd minute Ross McCormack curved his run perfectly to slot home his first Leeds United goal. He gave Brian Jenson the eyes and converted a deserved goal for the Whites. Goal difference could prove pivotal come the last day of the season and Grayson will have been frustrated as Burnley survived the United barrage.

Once more Leeds were involved in a mass bust up after a bad challenge on Gradel. Three players were booked once the flames settled, the referee doing well to keep the game 11 v 11. With the score at 1-0 Burnley were still in the game and Kasper Schmeichel had to come to the rescue when he made a miraculous save from a Burnley free-kick. The game eventually game to a conclusion and the Leeds players quickly returned to the pitch to pay their respects to all the fans who have supported them throughout an enthralling season.
