Gylfi Einarsson´s first goal for Leeds gave them a deserved 1-0 victory in a bizarre scrap with 10-man Burnley at Turf Moor.Ian Moore missed a penalty for the home side, which came after Icelandic international Einarsson found the net midway through the second half. Einarsson, who joined on a free transfer from Norwegian club Lillestrom in January, met Aaron Lennon´s far post cross with a powerful header which ended the Clarets´ run of seven straight clean sheets at home.The hosts, who had Frank Sinclair sent off for a second bookable offence in the 73rd minute, only looked likely to score after they had gone behind, but Leeds held firm to win a game which will only be remembered for its final third.
