Leeds United marked a 3-1 win over Burnley on Friday with a mischievous soundtrack. The stadium DJ cued 'Smooth Criminal'.

According to L'Équipe, the song followed the final whistle and sparked an upbeat reaction around the ground.

The choice was hardly accidental, a tongue-in-cheek jab at Burnley's newly appointed interim manager, Michael Jackson.

With a biopic, Michael, in cinemas, the singer's name has re-entered the spotlight, and here it echoed for a different reason.

The victory gave Leeds some breathing space near the bottom, while Burnley remained 19th on 20 points with four matches left.
