Leeds United’s 3-1 victory over Burnley on May 1, 2026, at Elland Road secures their Premier League status. This win marks a significant turnaround after a challenging season. Leeds now sits 14th in the league.

Leeds scored three goals with Anton Stach netting the first in the 8th minute. Noah Okafor followed with a goal in the 52nd minute, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin sealed the victory with a goal in the 56th minute. Loum Tchaouna scored a consolation goal for Burnley in the 71st minute.

Leeds dominated possession with 65% and had seven shot attempts in the first half. This victory places Leeds nine points clear of 18th-place Spurs, who are still in the relegation battle.

Ethan Ampadu expressed optimism post-match, stating, “We like to think we’ve put ourselves in a strong position with three games left.” Daniel Farke’s management has been crucial to this turnaround after Leeds struggled earlier this season.

Before this match, Leeds had not beaten Burnley. Supporters celebrated by chanting, “we are staying up” after confirming their Premier League status.

Looking ahead, Burnley will host Aston Villa on May 10, while Leeds will face Spurs on May 11. The outcome of these matches could further impact both teams’ standings as the season concludes.
