Burnley 2 Leeds United 1: McDermott disappointed by Whites loss

Yorkshire Post 15/3/14
Leeds United failed to build on Ross McCormack’s first-half goal as they slipped to defeat at Turf Moor.
McCormack opened the scoring as Leeds threatened to hand the Turf Moor faithful their first taste of defeat but Jason Pearce headed into his own net to level the scores at half-time.
Scott Arfield drilled home on 67 minutes to hand Burnley all three points as they extended their unbeaten league run to 14 games.
“It was an improvement but we are desperately disappointed not to have won the game never mind drawn it,” Leeds boss Brian McDermott said. “First half I felt we were the better side and we played how you have to play in this league.
“Unfortunately we gave a couple of goals away which is disappointing but having said that we were much better than we have been in the last two games.
“We got behind them and put them under a lot of pressure. We got to the second balls but from my point of view we didn’t get a result and that is the be all or end all.
“Sean Dyche has done an unbelievably good job here as he did at Watford where he was unlucky to lose his job.
“I am pleased for him and you can see the camaraderie that they have here. You have to have that camaraderie and togetherness to be top of the league and that is what we are trying to get.”
