CROWNING GLORY

Vincent reaches peak when Clarets climb back into Prem

- RICHARD TANNER

VINCENT KOMPANY says steering Burnley back into the Premier League will be more satisfying than any of his achievements as a player with Manchester City.

The runaway Championship leaders can make sure of automatic promotion tonight by beating third-placed Middlesbrough at the Riverside, if Luton fail to beat Millwall earlier in the day.

For a long time, a quick return to the top flight for the Clarets has been more a question of ‘when’ than ‘if’.

They are also on course to become the first team since Leicester in the 2013-14 season to top a century of points in the Championship.
