Dominic Calvert-Lewin had barely finished celebrating before Leeds United supporters underlined their belief that Premier League survival had been secured.

The England forward pounced on a mistake from Martin Dubravka to score his side’s third goal against already‑relegated Burnley, prompting home fans at Elland Road to make their voices heard.

Chants of “we are staying up” echoed around the stadium as Leeds closed in on another season of top‑flight football.

Their 3-1 victory moves the Whites up to 14th in the table and almost certainly guarantees Premier League football in West Yorkshire next season.

After the game, defender Ethan Ampadu said Leeds had put themselves in a “strong position” before the final three games of the season.

“I said before the game that we’ve not managed to beat Burnley, and we wanted a bit of revenge and to get to 43 points,” Ampadu told Sky Sports.

“We like to think we’ve put ourselves in a strong position with three games left.

“We wanted to give [our fans] a bank holiday weekend to enjoy. We had the disappointment last weekend. Hopefully, three more good results.”

It promises to be a joyful long weekend for Leeds supporters – but how long must they wait before safety is mathematically confirmed?
