Burnley's resurgence continues as French duo Lesley Ugochukwu and Loum Tchaouna helped the Clarets secure a hard-fought victory against Leeds, their first win over their Yorkshire rivals in Turf Moor since 2019.
Leslie Ugochukwu opened the scoring with a well-placed header from Kyle Walker's cross, while his French teammate Loum Tchaouna sealed the win with a stunning long-range shot that flew into the top corner. The victory has further cemented Burnley's chances of staying up in the Premier League.
Ugochukwu and Tchaouna first worked together at Rennes' youth team over a decade ago, before going their separate ways to play for Lazio and Chelsea respectively. Their reunion has been a success, with Ugochukwu scoring his second goal in two games and Tchaouna netting a breathtaking long-range effort.
Burnley's manager Scott Parker praised the duo's quality, saying that relationships they formed during their time together at Rennes have helped them gel as a team. "These players have got huge pedigree and quality," he stated. "We wouldn't have signed them if we didn't see that."
However, Burnley's survival hopes still rest on finding consistent scorers, with Josh Brownhill leading the charge last season but not being replicated this year. Ugochukwu is slowly finding his footing after a stint in a struggling Southampton team, while Tchaouna has shown glimpses of his ability since joining from Lazio.
Burnley's defensive solidity has been a major factor in their success, with Daniel Farke admitting that Leeds were the better side overall but lacked creativity in midfield. The Clarets' ability to cede possession and territory without being punished for it is a key strength, as seen when Sean Longstaff's cross was volleyed wide by Jack Harrison.
The win has been a welcome boost for Burnley, who have now beaten both teams that promoted them from the Championship at home. Ugochukwu's and Tchaouna's goals will be remembered for a long time, with the latter's stunning strike proving to be the game-changer in a contest that was expected to be dull.
The match has also taken a notable turn when Leeds' striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin refused to join his teammates in taking the knee before the game, sparking concerns about the campaign's effectiveness. However, for now, Burnley will bask in the glory of their hard-fought victory and look towards their next challenge in the Premier League.

his long-range shot is insane! Tchaouna is pretty cool too, I love how they worked together all those years ago and still got it going on 
Burnley's squad depth is looking better with each win. Parker's right about their pedigree and quality, he must've seen something special when he signed them 
The Leeds match was a bit of a snooze fest but at least we got the win 
Ugochukwu's second goal in two games is on 
I love how Ugochukwu & Tchaouna are killing it together again, like they did at Rennes all those years ago. It's clear they have a strong bond on the pitch.
- they're not letting in any easy goals! And Parker's right, having players with that level of pedigree and quality makes all the difference. Still worried about them finding consistent scorers, tho... Josh Brownhill was a lone wolf last season 
.
Daniel Farke said they were the better side overall, but didn't get the job done... Guess that's just the Premier League, right? 
Anyway, proud of Burnley for getting that win and keeping their survival hopes alive 
!
. Their partnership at Rennes all those years ago has clearly paid off, and it's amazing to see them work together seamlessly again on the pitch.
. Ugochukwu's goals have been clinical, and Tchaouna's long-range shot was pure magic 
. The fact that they've formed a strong connection over a decade ago is truly inspiring 
.
. It's a smart tactic that's working for them right now!
. Ugochukwu and Tchaouna have definitely made it worth watching for them again 
. Let's see if they can keep up the momentum and finish the season strong 
! The chemistry between them is undeniable, and it's awesome to see a team clicking like that. And let's be real, Burnley's defense has been rock-solid all season – they're making it hard for opposing teams to score goals 
. Now, I know some people might say they can't rely on Ugochukwu as a consistent scorer, but I think he's finally finding his form and Tchaouna is just a game-changer 
️. The fact they formed a bond at Rennes' youth team is genius 
. Now, can Josh Brownhill get his act together? 
& yeah leeds' striker calvert-lewin skipping the knee thing was pretty weird 
but anyway lets just enjoy burnlies win and hope they stay up 
Burnley's resurgence is actually just a sign that they're settling into a mediocre team dynamic. Like, they still can't score to save their lives... Ugochukwu and Tchaouna are basically just getting all the credit for doing what any decent player should've been doing in the first place 
And let's be real, Leeds didn't even have that much of a problem with midfield - they were just having an off day. Burnley's "defensive solidity" is just code for them being really good at parking the bus and not getting caught out on their own goals 
! Ugochukwu & Tchaouna are a total dream team 
- I mean who wouldn't want French flair to save the day? 
their chemistry is everything and i love how they're bringing that french flair to burnley's game 
but burnley's defense was solid as stone 
and who else but tchaouna would pull off a 40-yard screamer like that ? 
hopefully burnley can keep this momentum going and stay up in the premier league
.
. Their chemistry on and off the pitch is just magic 
. And can we talk about Tchaouna's goal? Long-range shot, top corner... pure perfection 
. I mean, who needs consistency when you've got a French duo with skills for days? Leslie Ugochukwu and Loum Tchaouna are like the dynamic duo of the Premier League 
. And that long-range shot by Tchaouna was insane 
. I'm still not convinced that Burnley's survival hopes are secure, though
