Burnley have clinched an instant return to the Premier League under Vincent Kompany after Friday night's 2-1 win over Middlesbrough sealed promotion for the runaway Championship leaders.
The Clarets, who dropped out of the top-flight last term, have flourished under the guidance of Kompany, who took over at Turf Moor in the summer. And the Manchester City legend will test his mettle against the likes of Pep Guardiola and co next year after masterminding a remarkable campaign which has seen them lose just twice in the league all season.
After Luton Town dropped points against Millwall earlier in the afternoon, Burnley knew that a win at third-placed Middlesbrough would be enough to mathematically confirm promotion.
