Burnley and Sunderland win as promoted clubs diverge after break

Burnley beat Leeds United 2-0 at Turf Moor and Sunderland defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0 at the Stadium of Light on Saturday as the two promoted clubs produced contrasting returns from the international break. Burnley moved out of the relegation places with a composed home display, while Sunderland continued an impressive start to the season with another clean sheet and a late insurance goal.

At Turf Moor, Burnley took the lead in the 18th minute when Kyle Walker curled a cross into the box and Lesley Ugochukwu rose unmarked to head past Karl Darlow. Leeds dominated possession and outshot the hosts 19 to 4 but failed to convert chances, and substitute Loum Tchaouna sealed the result with a 68th minute thunderbolt from roughly 25 to 30 yards that flew into the top corner. Tchaouna’s strike was his first in the Premier League and was widely described as outstanding by teammates; Walker said of the young forward, "His finishing in training is unbelievable. He is still young and still developing and needs to learn the English game, but from what we’ve seen, he has got the full potential to go all the way."

The victory moved Burnley up to 17th in the table and was their second...
