The miracle of coach Scott Parker

Victory over third-placed Sheffield United saw Burnley become the next team, after Leeds, to secure direct promotion to the Premier League for the 2025/26 season.

The Turf Moor team has 94 points, equal to Leeds and 8 points ahead of Sheffield, while the season has only 2 rounds left to end. Sheffield can only blame themselves, having collapsed at the most important stage of the season, and then facing risks in the play-off round.

Burnley had a magical season with some amazing statistics. The Clarets conceded just 15 goals in 44 games, kept 29 clean sheets, were unbeaten in 31 games and did not concede more than one goal in any game.

Burnley's success has been marked by Scott Parker. The English coach has helped three teams gain promotion to the Premier League in his career, including Burnley (2025), Bournemouth (2022) and Fulham (2020).

Goalkeeper James Trafford is a key player in the Championship's best defence this season. The former Man City goalkeeper is being watched by many big clubs after his outstanding performances.

Hours earlier, Leeds also secured promotion after a 6-0 thrashing of Stoke City. The Whites will return to the Premier League after a two-season absence.

Sheffield and Sunderland are certain to qualify for the play-off round, while the remaining three spots are up for grabs between Bristol, Coventry, Middlesbrough, Millwall, Blackburn, West Brom and Swansea.
