Leeds United's Under-23s produced a battling display on Friday afternoon as they secured a spot in the final four of the Premier League Cup with a 3-1 win over Burnley.

The Whites made the trip to Lancashire fresh from securing the Professional Development League North title on Monday evening at Colchester.

United faced their division rivals at Barnfield Training Centre in a behind closed doors contest as Aapo Halme, Mateusz Bogusz and Alfie McCalmont all returned to the squad following the international break.
