EFL Championship: Burnley Made To Wait For Title Glory Again

Rotherham v Burnley

Despite goals from Scott Twine and Manuel Benson giving Vincent Kompany's promoted side a comfortable lead, Rotherham fought back with Georgie Kelly's equalizer, earning them a deserved point.

The draw, combined with Sheffield United's 1-0 win against Bristol City, means Burnley will have to wait until Saturday, when they face QPR, to secure the top spot and the title.

Sheffield United Move Closer to Premier League Promotion

Meanwhile, Sheffield United took a step closer to Premier League promotion as substitute James McAtee's second-half goal secured a 1-0 win against Bristol City.

The victory moved the Blades eight points clear of third-placed Luton with only four matches remaining, putting them in a strong position to join Burnley in the top-flight next season.

Blackpool's Relegation Worries Deepen with Defeat against West Brom

Wigan Keeps Relegation Survival Hopes Alive with Win against Stoke

Sunderland's Play-Off Hopes Hit by Draw against Huddersfield

The draw was a better result for Huddersfield as it moved them two points clear of the relegation zone ahead of their crucial trip to Cardiff this weekend.
