Burnley bounce back
The Clsrets have officially confirmed their return to the Premier League just 320 days after they were relegated last season. It’s been a tremendous effort from them under new boss Vincent Kompany, who has shown his managerial mettle in a big way. He’s still only 36 years old.
Lyle Foster will be part of the Premier League soon
South Africa’s priciest ever player will get to have a crack at the Premier League, and we’re very much here for it. Foster has been used sparingly so far by Kompany, but we could see much more of the Bafana Bafana striker now with the pressure off.
Burnley have sealed qualification to the top-flight with seven matches to spare after their win against Middlesbrough, who themselves are chasing promotion this season. The Clarets hold an unassailable lead over third-placed Sheffield United, and the top two gain automatic promotion.
