The miracle of coach Scott Parker

On the morning of April 22, Burnley won the last direct promotion ticket from Championship to Premier League 2025/26.

Victory over third-placed Sheffield United saw Burnley become the next team, after Leeds, to secure direct promotion to the Premier League for the 2025/26 season.

The Turf Moor team has 94 points, equal to Leeds and 8 points more than Sheffield, while the season has only 2 rounds left to end. Sheffield can only blame themselves, for falling down at the most important stage of the season, and then facing risks in the play-off round.

Burnley had a magical season with amazing statistics. The Clarets conceded only 15 goals in 44 games, kept 29 clean sheets, were unbeaten in 31 games and did not concede more than one goal in any game.

Burnley's achievements have been marked by Scott Parker. The English coach has helped three teams to be promoted to the Premier League in his career, including Burnley (2025), Bournemouth (2022) and Fulham (2020).

Goalkeeper James Trafford is a key factor in the best defense in the Championship this season. The former Man City goalkeeper is being watched by many big teams after his excellent performance.

A few hours earlier, Leeds also secured promotion after a devastating 6-0 win over Stoke City. "The Whites" will return to the Premier League after a 2-season absence.

Sheffield and Sunderland are certain to qualify for the play-off round, while the remaining three places are up for grabs between Bristol, Coventry, Middlesbrough, Millwall, Blackburn, West Brom and Swansea.
