'Players' sacrifice has led to promotion' - Parker

Burnley's promotion back to the Premier League was confirmed with a stunning victory over Sheffield United earlier on Monday.

Boss Scott Parker has paid tribute to how hard his side have had to work to get over the line.

"The ambition and the target at the start of the season was to get back to the Premier League and we've managed to do that so I'm hugely proud of the squad," Parker told BBC Radio Lancashire

"It's come down to real, pure commitment from every one of the players, their dedication and the sacrifice that they've made, that leads us to this point.

"In this moment, I explained to the lads, that there is emotion from me because I see the commitment that every one has brought.

"We live in a world where you win or you lose and you get judged and at the end of the season you're either promoted or not and that's how quickly people will judge it.

"I'm just delighted all that work, all that effort, all that sacrifice has been worth it and people can see it. The facts are if you don't get promoted people can see it."
