Burnley have officially been relegated from the Premier League following a defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.
The Clarets entered the weekend needing to beat Spurs in order to have any chance of possible safety. Not only did Vincent Kompany’s side have to win, but they also needed Nottingham Forest to lose later in the day as well.
Nevertheless, it was not meant to be for the Lancashire club, as they will feature in the Championship next season.
Burnley actually took an early lead against their north London opponents on Saturday. Jacob Bruun Larsen smashed a shot past Guglielmo Vicario to give his team the first-half advantage.
Spurs, however, fought back and netted twice to secure Burnley’s unfortunate place in the table.

After the loss, Kompany acknowledged the disappointment, but also claimed to bring Burnley quickly back to the top flight. “Today the Premier League is over but tomorrow we start day one of doing everything we can to get back to the Premier League,” the Clarets coach told BBC Sport.
“The game has gone a bit like others have gone for us this season. We created chances but the one where we missed the final pass. I’m not here sulking and feeling sorry for us but if you take every game, every season as a learning experience, this is step we need to get into our game.”
Burnley entered the current campaign with high hopes of remaining in the Premier League. After all, the Clarets dominated the Championship last season and brought an exciting squad and manager to the top flight.
Nevertheless, things quickly went south for Kompany and company. Burnley only managed to win one of their first 13 matches back in the Premier League. While they eventually went on a decent run near the end of the season, the Clarets could not bounce back from the rough start.
