Leeds United and Burnley both secured promotion to the Premier League!

The Whites ran riot with a 6-0 demolition of Stoke, before the Clarets edged a 2-1 win over third-placed Sheffield United in the evening clash — a result that confirmed both clubs will be back in the top flight next season.

While Daniel Farke's side kept an eye on things from a distance, Burnley got the job done in style, brushing aside Sheffield United 2-1 to send fans in both Burnley and Leeds into a frenzy.

Josh Brownhill’s early strike put the hosts ahead at Turf Moor, but Chris Wilder's side quickly equalised through Tom Cannon. But Brownhill netted again just before half-time from the penalty spot, ensuring the Clarets remained in front.

Scott Parker’s defence, which has been nothing short of formidable all season, kept the Blades from finding a second, wrapping up another crucial win.

With just 15 goals conceded in 44 matches, Burnley’s defence has been a fortress, extending their unbeaten run to 31 games.

Both Leeds and Burnley now sit level on 94 points with two games remaining, setting up a thrilling finish for the Championship title. Meanwhile, Sheffield United, who finished with 86 points, will now have to navigate the play-offs if they want to join the top flight.
