Burnley still have seven games to play, making their promotion the quickest of the Championship era. theSun theSundaily Kompany Burnley Championship EPL
Football - Championship - Middlesbrough v Burnley - Riverside Stadium, Middlesbrough, Britain - April 7, 2023 Burnley manager Vincent Kompany celebrates promotion to the Premier League. REUTERSPIXBurnley boss Vincent Kompany said even he is surprised at the speed at which his side secured promotion to the Premier League after they won 2-1 at Middlesbrough on Friday.
Due to the terms of a controversial leveraged takeover by an American consortium in late 2020, a “significant proportion” of a £65 million loan had to be repaid when they were relegated. “This team is very, very good. You hear Vincent say it every week. They’re surprising each and every one of us every day, they’re phenomenal.”
The Blades now have an eight-point cushion in second and a game in hand after Iliman Ndiaye scored the only goal in a 1-0 win over bottom-of-the-table Wigan at Bramall Lane. Luton extended their unbeaten run to eight games at The Den, but a stalemate with fifth-placed Millwall did little to help either side's promotion chances.
