According to reports, the 44th round of the English Championship concluded with twelve simultaneous matches, where Leeds United’s 6-0 victory over Stoke City and Burnley’s 2-1 win against Sheffield United confirmed their return to the Premier League next season.

In the most notable match of the night, Leeds United hosted Stoke City, with Daniel Farke’s squad delivering a dominant performance, including a hat-trick from their star striker and goals from Junior Firpo and Wilfried Gnonto, securing a 6-0 win. With 96 points and two weeks remaining in the season, their promotion was sealed.

In another key match, Burnley, under Scott Parker, defeated Sheffield United 2-1 with goals from Johann Berg Gudmundsson, securing their return to the Premier League after just one season in the Championship. Like Leeds, Burnley now sits on 96 points, confirming their promotion.

Meanwhile, the battle for the third promotion spot remains between teams ranked third to sixth. Sheffield United (86 points), Sunderland, Bristol City, and Coventry City (managed by Frank Lampard) are currently in contention. If these standings hold, they will compete in the playoffs to determine the final promoted team.

Leeds United, relegated two seasons ago alongside Leicester City and Luton Town, will now give their fans the chance to watch top-flight football again after two years. Burnley, who struggled last season under Vincent Kompany, have bounced back impressively under Scott Parker this season.
