Burnley's Chris Wood created history on Sunday as he hit the Premier League's 30,000th goal against Leeds United. However, the goal was not sufficient to claim all three points as Patrick Bamford scored an equalizer in the 86th minute to help Leeds share the spoils. Despite Wood's Premier League record-breaking goal, he was disappointed that the team did not leave Turf Moor with all three points.
