Leeds and Burnley Secure Premier League Return

Burnley and Leeds United have officially sealed their return to the Premier League following a dramatic weekend in the Championship.

Burnley confirmed promotion with a clinical win over Sheffield United, a result that also saw Leeds clinch a top-two finish after their earlier victory against Stoke City. Josh Brownhill led the way for the Clarets with a brace, extending their unbeaten run to a club-record 31 matches—breaking a 104-year-old record in the process.

The result spelled disappointment for Sheffield United, whose recent dip in form saw them fall short of automatic promotion. Chris Wilder’s men, now guaranteed to finish third, must navigate the play-offs to keep their top-flight hopes alive. Despite the setback, there was a bright spot as Tom Cannon netted his first goal for the club since arriving from Leicester in January.

Leeds and Burnley will now turn their attention to Premier League preparations, while Sheffield United face a tense post-season challenge to join them.
