Sean Dyche reflected on a ‘fantastic season’ after the Clarets’ Premier League status was guaranteed.
Dyche’s side effectively ensured their safety with a 2-2 draw at Chelsea on Easter Monday as they moved nine points clear of the bottom three with three games to go.
It would have taken maximum points and an avalanche of goals from Cardiff City – plus wins for Southampton and Brighton – to drag Burnley back into danger over the closing weeks of the campaign.
Defeat for Cardiff at Fulham – 24 hours before the Clarets faced title-chasing Manchester City – snuffed out that unlikely scenario.
