United probed throughout the contest but were lacking a cutting edge in the creative and finishing departments. The Clarets, on the other hand, were not and took their only real opportunity with aplomb, Luca Koleosho slotting beyond Illan Meslier after dispossessing Manor Solomon and sprinting clear.
Here are the ratings.

14. Sam Byram - 6/10
Solid, good in the air, tried to get Leeds playing forward and looked frustrated with the way his team-mates were positioned in deep possession. | Getty Images
15. Largie Ramazani - 6/10
At the very least ran at Burnley with pace and briefly unsettled them but could add no final product to his work. | freelance Photo: freelance
16. Ao Tanaka - 5/10
Couldn't add much. Made one run to support Joseph and had he been found it might have been a different story. Photo: Cameron Smith
17. Referee: James Bell - 4/10
Made a difficult game to referee look nightmarish at times. Early yellows were a rod for his own back. Missed a few things and never looked in control. Did at least show one yellow for time wasting. | Getty Images
