Loum Tchaouna's second-half stunner helped Burnley to a 2-0 home win over Leeds that moved them out of the relegation zone.
It was a memorable first Clarets goal for the substitute, which came against the run of play to punish a wasteful Leeds as Scott Parker's side won the battle of last season's Championship top two.
Burnley's second Premier League win of the season was set up by Lesley Ugochukwu's 18th-minute opener as he headed home from Kyle Walker's wonderful pinpoint cross.

But Leeds will leave Turf Moor scratching their heads at how they failed to score, having had 19 shots, 42 touches in the opposition box and 69 per cent possession.
Brendan Aaronson missed their best chance in the 32nd minute as he was played through one-on-one, only to see his shot turned onto the post by Burnley goalkeeper Martin Dubravka.
Daniel Farke's side continued their pressure in the second half as Jack Harrison put two volleys wide, but were then hit with a 68th-minute sucker punch.
Tchaouna was given time and space from distance to arrow a wicked shot into the top corner to move the home side to safety above Nottingham Forest, who sacked boss Ange Postecoglou on Saturday.
Daniel Farke's side, meanwhile, are now just two points above the bottom three and have just one win from their last eight games in all competitions.
