Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa appreciated the physical test Burnley offered for Sunday's 1-1 draw.

Patrick Bamford turned home a late equaliser for Leeds after their former striker Chris Wood had given Burnley a second-half lead.

The Clarets, who had four players booked by referee Michael Oliver, were intent on winning all their physical battles as they chased their first points of the season. Leeds received three yellow cards of their own.

When asked if he had been concerned for his players, Bielsa said : “No, I thought it was a very heated game but not any more than that.

“It was a very disputed game and it was a very physical game."

Bielsa added: “In the virtues that I mentioned of Burnley, they provoked errors and took advantage of them.

“You link that more to something bad that we did rather than the virtues of our opponent."
