'It's what we want' - Mike Jackson details Burnley mindset ahead of final day Leeds United battle

Burnley interim boss Mike Jackson was happy with his side's battling point against Aston Villa which helped the Clarets leapfrog Leeds United out of the relegation zone with just one Premier League game left to play. Ashley Barnes struck first from the spot for Jackson's side, before a second-half goal from Emi Buendia for Villa pegged them back.

Neither side were able to seize the initiative after Buendia's goal, although Burnley striker Wout Weghorst should have sealed all three points for the Clarets late on, only to be denied by a last-ditch Tyrone Mings block. The 1-1 draw means Burnley have climbed out of the relegation zone above Leeds heading into the final day of the season.

Both Burnley and Leeds have 35 points. However, the former has a plus-20 better goal difference than Jesse Marsch's side, meaning that a win for the Clarets on the final day of the season at home over Newcastle could seal Leeds' fate, even if they beat Brentford away.
