Burnley sealed the Championship title tonight with a 1-0 win at rivals Blackburn.

Vincent Kompany’s Burnley clinched the Sky Bet Championship title on Tuesday night with a 1-0 win away to rivals Blackburn Rovers.

Jon Dahl Tomasson’s side put in another spirited performance but it was painfully obvious their visitors possess the firepower they lack after they got into plenty of promising positions but could not fashion a telling contribution. Al-Dakhil glanced a header wide early on but Burnley offered little else as Blackburn nullified their opponents.

It felt like the pressure was building and only a stunning 61st-minute from Al-Dakhil prevented Brereton Diaz from pulling the trigger inside the area after he had taken the ball down with a wonderful first touch.
