Burnley clinched promotion back to the Premier League with a win that also sent Leeds United up and consigned Sheffield United to the Championship play-offs.

The Clarets extended their unbeaten run to 31 games with Josh Brownhill scoring twice, a victory that clinched a top-two place along with the Whites, who beat Stoke City earlier in the day.

For the Blades, a fourth defeat in five games means they will finish third and have to fight their way through the post-season if they are to claim the third promotion spot.

Scott Parker’s side have built their campaign on a remarkable defensive effort and the win means they have secured promotion by breaking a 104-year-old record for their longest unbeaten run.

Chris Wilder’s side go into the play-offs searching for the form that saw them go four points clear at the top at the end of March, although they had the consolation of seeing Tom Cannon score his first goal for the club following his January move from Leicester City.
