Burnley 3-0 Cardiff City: Clarets crowned champions with 101 points

Burnley rounded off their spectacular season in the Championship with a 3-0 win over Cardiff City that saw the hosts break the 100-point barrier.

First-half goals from Josh Brownhill and Ashley Barnes meant the Clarets had the game wrapped-up by half-time.

Scott Twine's precise free-kick added a third on Burnley's celebratory day.

Cardiff will be grateful for Reading receiving a six-point deduction over their finances, otherwise their awful season would have seen them relegated.

The Bluebirds ended a dismal campaign 21st in the Championship, the division's second-lowest scorers and having appointed three managers, with the future of current boss Sabri Lamouchi still unclear.
