Burnley are down and Danny Ings should be at a different club next season - that we knew. But well done Stoke - 51 points means a best-ever Premier League points tally. No small achievement. Glad they did it today too, as they host Liverpool next... and that'll be all about Stevie G. Talking of which, you can follow his last match at Anfield right here on the BBC Sport website. See you folks.

... they've nicked a free-kick - and Muniesa nearly lashes in a volley from outside the box after a defensive header from Shackell. Close that. Tom Heaton did well to collect.

Late Stoke throw deep into the box...

In spite of one glaring error, Jason Shackell has shone for Burnley today. Kieran Trippier is another who's played well, and it's certainly expected that he might move this summer.

Peter Crouch already linking the play well, and Stoke are starting to knock it around somewhat. Hmmmm. That's disappointing. Geoff Cameron overhits a cross with Crouch primed for a giant leap.

Stoke striker Peter Crouch comes on for Marko Arnautovic, who's been quiet.

The MOTD cameras pan out and there you are, just a mile away, Burnley Cricket Club are in action. Let's hope they have a better season than their football counterparts. Mame Biram Diouf heads down and over with a brave attempt. He's really knocking on the door for Stoke now...

Mame Biram Diouf is not having his finest game today. Still time though...

Stoke's Peter Odemwingie has replaced Jonathan Walters.

Tom Heaton saves from point-blank range and, again, Mame Biram Diouf is the Stoke culprit. He should have lashed that home with ease. Jason Shackell is thankful for Heaton's fine recovery work after he shanked a clearance from the whipped cross of Charlie Adam.

The sun's beating down on Turf Moor and baritone chants are ringing out around the ground. Definite end-of-season vibe.

Hope for a Burnley goal at some point, certainly. Ashley Barnes gets to the byeline with some diligent work but his cut-back across the six-yard area is just too quick for Danny Ings to pounce on. Burnley pressing.

Stoke midfielder Steven N'Zonzi picks up a yellow card for some rough and tumble. Just one too many over-zealous challenges, you feel, for Michael Oliver's liking.

Controversy: bad backpass from Marc Muniesa leaves Jack Butland exposed... Ashley Barnes closes in to get to ball away, but Ryan Shawcross blocks him out - illegally, according to most of Turf Moor. But not for the referee.

Stoke on the front foot - Jason Shackell blocks well from Mame Biram Diouf, whose volley could have been crashing into the net. Nothing comes from the corner, Burnley break... Ings has a shot blocked.

No changes from either side at the break - Stoke on course for a Premier League record (for them) 51 points.

Cheerleaders are marching about in the middle of the pitch at Turf Moor. Nobody seems to depressed by the prospect of a mammoth battle in Championship next season. How many teams are in the second tier these days... 27? 28? I jest, of course, but it's just so competitive, such a marathon. Burnley will have taken plenty from their season at the top though.

Scoring goals was always going to be Burnley's problem. Imagine where they'd be without Danny Ings? Well, they'd be in the same predicament - Championship-bound - but it could have been a horror show of a season without him.
