Hehehe...Burnley have won promotion back to the Premier League at the first time of asking.
They beat Queens Park Rangers 1-0 at Turf Moor on Monday evening, to confirm their place in the topflight next season. They will be crowned winners of the Championship, if they beat Charlton in the last game of the season.


Speaking after the match, manager Sean Dyche told Sky Sports: “It was well off our performance level but the result counted. We were miles off our best, the resilience, work ethic and belief in what we do was on show again.
“You can’t be brilliant every week, but we are a real group of people who work very hard for the success that has come our way.
“It’s a different journey this year. Two years ago we were under the radar, this year not so much. We have gone 22 games unbeaten from Boxing Day, that is unbelievable by anyone’s standards.”
Brighton and Middlesbrough, who are also hoping to play in the Premier League next year, face each other in a game which decides who joins Burnley and who settles for a play-off place.
