Leeds United promotion rivals Burnley are ahead of where manager Scott Parker expected them to be at this stage of the season, with the Clarets boss delighted with their early season form.
However, he admits he didn't expect his side to have gelled so well or quickly, in an ominous message for their Championship rivals. Burnley needed a penalty to overcome Plymouth, awarded when former Leeds defender Darko Gyabi was adjudged to have fouled Josh Cullen, with Josh Brownwhill finding the net from 12 yards. Rooney felt the decision was harsh, although admitted that was only after seeing replays.
