Ashley Barnes is the 14th different player to score for Burnley in the Premier League this season (excluding own goals)Burnley head into the final day of the season with their Premier League fate in their own hands after securing a hard-earned point at Aston Villa.
Ashley Barnes put the Clarets ahead from the penalty spot after Emiliano Buendia's clumsy foul on Maxwel Cornet.
But Argentine Buendia made amends with a sweeping finish inside the box after being picked out by John McGinn.
The point lifted Burnley out of the relegation zone - and saw Leeds drop to 18th - before Sunday's final games.
Keeper Nick Pope made a string of fine saves to frustrate Villa, his one-handed stop to keep out substitute Bertrand Traore's header the pick of the lot.
The visitors finished with 10 men, though, when ex-Villa defender Matt Lowton was sent off in stoppage time after a foul on Calum Chambers.
Burnley and Leeds are now locked on 35 points, but the Clarets' -18 goal difference is far superior to Leeds' -38.
While Burnley entertain 12th-placed Newcastle at the weekend, Leeds are at 11th-placed Brentford.
Everton, who were two points above the relegation zone with two games to play, are safe after coming from 2-0 behind to defeat Crystal Palace 3-2 on Thursday.
