EPL on Citi: Leeds United, Burnley secure promotion back to elite division

Burnley has secured promotion back to the Premier League. They achieved this with a win that also promoted Leeds United. Sheffield United will now compete in the Championship play-offs.

The Clarets extended their unbeaten run to 31 games. Josh Brownhill scored twice in the victory. This win guaranteed Burnley a top-two finish alongside Leeds, who beat Stoke City earlier.

Sheffield United suffered their fourth defeat in five games. They will finish third and must fight for promotion through the post-season. Scott Parker's team has relied on strong defense this season.

Burnley's win broke a 104-year-old record for their longest unbeaten run. The team needed this victory to return to the Premier League at first attempt. Fans celebrated wildly at Turf Moor after the match.

Leeds United is back in the Premier League after two years in the Championship. They secured promotion with two games remaining. Sheffield United's loss confirmed Burnley's return to the top flight.

Earlier on Monday, Leeds crushed Stoke City 6-0, making promotion almost certain. Daniel Farke’s team can clinch the title by winning against Bristol City and Plymouth Argyle next.

Farke did not make any signings during January but is close to his third title at this level. He previously won two titles with Norwich City.

Leeds faces a crucial summer ahead as they aim to avoid relegation like past promoted teams.
