Burnley’s tenure in the Premier League came to an end after suffering a 2-1 defeat against Tottenham on Saturday, sealing their relegation to the Championship.

In a must-win match for Vincent Kompany’s side, Jacob Bruun Larsen provided a glimmer of hope with an early opener in the 25th minute.

However, Tottenham swiftly responded, with Pedro Porro equalizing just seven minutes later. Micky van de Ven’s 82nd-minute strike secured the win for Tottenham, dashing Burnley’s survival aspirations.

With only one game remaining and five points adrift of safety, Burnley joined Sheffield United in relegation, marking their return to the Championship after last season’s promotion.

After the final whistle, Kompany consoled his devastated players on the pitch, emphasizing the need to regroup and prepare for the challenges ahead. “Today the Premier League is over but tomorrow we start day one of doing everything we can to get back to the Premier League,” Kompany stated.

Despite showing some fight in recent weeks, Burnley’s struggles throughout the season ultimately led to their relegation.

Kompany, in his second season at the helm, faced the daunting task of navigating the Premier League’s challenges after leading Burnley to the Championship title in the previous campaign.

The Clarets’ difficult season was evident from the start, enduring a seven-game winless streak and suffering heavy defeats against top-tier opponents.

This marks the end of Burnley’s six-season stint in the Premier League under former manager Sean Dyche.

Kompany acknowledged the support of the club’s fans and emphasized the collective effort required to rebuild and aim for a Premier League return. “I’m very lucky to be surrounded by good people, hardworking players, staff, and fans who have backed the club for generations,” he expressed, highlighting the club’s commitment to its supporters.
