After the first half, they were leading 1-0 after hitting Jack Harrison. Burnley responded in the 54th minute thanks to Maxwell Cornet who showed off a wonderful free-kick. The guests rejoiced in the group at the corner when an unpleasant incident occurred.
Bottles flew from the stands. One of them – filled and plastic – hit the footballer in the head. Matthew Lowton, Burnley’s 32-year-old defender will have a bruise on his forehead as there was a distinct red mark on it, but it seems that nothing more serious – thankfully – had happened. In England, the police should have no problem identifying a hooligan. Coach Burnley, however, quickly closed the topic.
– Fortunately, nothing happened to him, but we don’t want to see something like that in the future. The atmosphere was great today anyway – said Sean Dyche.

Leeds United scored two goals later, and Mateusz Klich was involved in both goals.
How did Klich play?
It was the thirteenth meeting of the Pole this season, and also one of the best, if not the best. Klich was very active, he ran a lot and showed off seven key passes (and the whole Burnley team had only five of them)!
It was Leeds’ first league victory since November 30 (1-0 win against Crystal Palace). Marcelo Bielsy’s team is 16th in the table, Burnley is 18th, eight points behind Leeds. Manchester City is the leader of the Premier League.
