Burnley win the Championship
They've claimed the title after a 1-nil win over rivals Blackburn last night
Burnley have clinched the Sky Bet Championship title after a gritty 1-0 win over East Lancashire rivals Blackburn Rovers.
They went into the game knowing they would already promoted, but it was a Manuel Benson goal that sealed the deal to keep them 1st in the table, with two games to go.
Manager Vincent Kompany has praised his team for their resilience this season, and also recognises the significance of the win over their Lancashire rivals.
Speaking to Sky Sports News, he said: "I don't know if the lads realise it. I think J-Rod (Jay Rodriguez) does. He understands what it means for the people of Burnley to win the league at Ewood Park, you couldn't write it.
"And even the scenario of the game. After everybody's speaking about how good we are on the ball, today to see how good we were defensively, winning challenges, second ball, crosses, everything else. That's a side of the team I'm proud about as well.
"A day that will live forever for us and a tremendous achievement by the lads."
Burnley will now play in the Premier League next season, just a year after they were relegated.
