Lyle Foster's Burnley Made to Wait to Pop the Champagne for Championship Title

• It was very clear from the beginning of the season that Burnley was going to win the Championship under coach Vincent Kompany
• However, the Premier League-bound Clarinets will have to wait just a while longer to be confirmed as the champions of the first division
• They were tied up in an inconvenient draw with Rotherham, while Sheffield United won their match to keep the nearly-concluded title chase running for a few more days

Burnley was made to wait for the Championship title after being held to a 2-2 draw at Rotherham, while Sheffield United's 1-0 win against Bristol City moved them a step closer to the Premier League on Tuesday night.

Goals from Scott Twine and Manuel Benson on either side of Vitinho's own goal pushed Vincent Kompany's promoted side to the brink of clinching the second-tier silverware.

However, Georgie Kelly equalised to earn the Millers a deserved point and with second placed Sheffield United winning, it meant the champagne celebrations will have to wait until Saturday, where a win against QPR will secure top spot for the Clarets.
