Burnley have sealed promotion back to the Premier League at the first time of asking, beating Middlesbrough to move 11 points clear at the top of the table and 19 above third-place Luton with six matches to play.

But their stay in the second tier this time around has been a short one, with the summer appointment of Vincent Kompany as boss proving an inspired one.
