Burnley crushed Cardiff 5-0 on Saturday as Scott Parker marked his first home game in charge with a stylish victory that underlined his team’s Championship promotion credentials.
The Clarets built on their impressive 4-1 win at Luton in their first game of the season with another swaggering performance at Turf Moor.
Ethan Horvath’s ninth minute own goal was followed by a strike from Luca Koleosho.
Josh Brownhill, Zeki Amdouni and Johann Berg Gudmundsson netted after the break as Burnley showed their determination to bounce back from last season’s relegation under Parker’s predecessor Vincent Kompany.
Daniel Farke admitted he understands the frustration of angry Leeds fans after a 0-0 draw at West Bromwich Albion extended their winless start.
Farke’s side were booed when they passed the ball backwards during their dour display and endured more jeers at the full-time whistle.
After last term’s play-off final loss to Southampton and several close-season sales of key players, Leeds have looked out of sorts in draws with West Brom and Portsmouth, as well as a 3-0 League Cup loss to Middlesbrough.
Asked if he understood the fans’ frustrations, Farke said: “Yes, because they are used to seeing us flying, even in the last home game.
“We created so many chances, we are known for this and we are still a bit frustrated that we lost so many interesting players.”
QPR fought back from two goals down to secure a 2-2 draw at Sheffield United.
Gustavo Hamer and Kieffer Moore put the Blades two up inside 13 minutes as they aimed for three successive wins in all competitions.
But QPR hit back with second-half goals from Jimmy Dunne and Lyndon Dykes, despite having substitute Jack Colback sent off when trailing 2-1 with seven minutes left.
