In an exhilarating climax to the Championship season, Burnley triumphed over Sheffield United with a 2-1 victory, guaranteeing their promotion to the Premier League alongside Leeds United. Burnley's win not only sealed their fate but also ensured that Leeds advanced automatically.
On an electrifying day for Leeds, they dismantled Stoke City in a 6-0 rout, propelling them to the top of the Championship with 94 points.
