This victory helps Burnley definitely finish in the top 2 of the Championship.

Kompany played for Anderlecht, Hamburger and then played for Man City in the period 2008-2019.

In the 2019-2020 season, Kompany said goodbye to Man City to return to his childhood club Anderlecht, taking on the role of player and coach.

In the summer of 2022, Kompany was appointed coach of Burnley, after the club was relegated from the Premier League.

When asked if he had the ambition to have such a good season, Kompany admitted: `No. This is just Easter. There are still seven games left and we are already celebrating.`

Promoting seven rounds early is a new record in the Championship, but Kompany did not reward Burnley with a day off, but wanted his students to immediately return to training towards the championship.

President Alan Pace admitted that he did not expect Burnley to return to the Premier League after just one season.

Despite losing the match, Middlesbrough still has a chance to get promoted as it is ranked fourth with 67 points.
