And last but not least, Burnley were absolutely too good over QPR just now by 5-0 thanks to two goals from half 10/half nine Zian Flemming + super sub forward Jeremy Sarmiento and CM Josh Cullen.
Looks like they can breathe a bit more better now Burnley have already confirmed their promotion back to the PL ahead of the next season starting August.
All in all, they’ve simply attacked and attacked at its finest all afternoon while maintaining its solid defensive standing.
But there’s still one more hurdle left and they got Millwall to finish off as the home team now at Turf Moor at the same time next Saturday 9.30pm AEST.
As said, Burnley were able to get away with things as a PL-elect qualify team now against a side sitting below mid-table in QPR who left their home ground in West London at Loftus Road empty handed.
For Millwall though, they’re doing great things particularly as of late in their push to join the Playoffs bubble between 3rd-6th and they just def. Swansea City 1-0. Thinking of Cardiff too just now who not only couldn’t find a way to get past West Brom but leaving five points off the required three ahead of the final round game next Saturday is just a bit too late to ask unfortunately and they will be in League 1 next term.
Although it’s likely there will be two Welsh teams in the Championship joining Swansea as a straight swap for Cardiff with Wrexham set to realise their road to the PL should they defeat Charlton Athletic for the win soon.
What Burnley don’t have hand in hand going into this final tough game of the season even if the stronghold home front helps is that Zian Flemming will have to sit out since he is owned by them a bit longer – despite the fact that loan-to-obligation deal they’ve reached in the last days of the August summer window last year does not sign off until this season is fully over and then he’s yours on a permanent basis after that.
Who could replace him instead? It’s either a returning Lyle Foster from injury, Sarimiento getting an extended crack to prove he can play a valuable contribution next term or even asking Marcus Edwards to play up front. Tough call but they better keep on scoring like they did today v QPR.
And now we will have to wait until Tuesday morning when Leeds host Bristol City with Burnley fans hoping to see Bristol hold back the Lilywhites.
If so, maybe Scott Parker could finally get his hands to take home that top-placed Championship trophy on top of his runner-up and Play-Off achievements from the same level that he did with Bournemouth and Fulham in the past.
Also from the other day too, just a reminder that Leeds are even considering sacking Farke having also achieved PL promotion at the same time on Easter Monday – who doesn’t look so confident when it comes to his dire PL record – as again, advantage Parker’s Burnley over Farke’s Leeds for the best of 1st place.
