class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Sheffield United, meanwhile, will have to go through the play-offs as they look to return to the top flight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Footage showed Burnley fans confronting Sheffield United players, with a security guard having to step in to intervene.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Some of the Sheffield United players responded after the incident.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Meanwhile, some of the fans in attendance criticised the actions of their fellow supporters.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\"

supporters back after the incident<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">That wasn&#8217;t the only altercation that occurred as on the pitch after the game Sheffield United&#8217;s Hamza Choudhury clashed with\u00a0CJ Egan-Riley of Burnley.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Burnley fans ran onto the pitch after the club&#8217;s return to the top flight was confirmed but some appeared to clash with United players.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Josh Brownhill put Burnley in the lead in the 28th minute before Thomas Cannon equalised for the visitors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Brownhill restored Burnley&#8217;s advantage from the penalty spot just before half time, with Scott Parker&#8217;s side holding on to secure victory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Leeds were also promoted to the Premier League following a 6-0 win at home to Stoke.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Leeds and Burnley both have 94 points with two games remaining but Daniel Farke&#8217;s side have a considerably better goal difference.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Burnley will be determined to fare considerably better in the Premier League next season than they did in the 2023-24 campaign, when they were relegated after finishing in 19th place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder said of the pitch invasion after the game: &#8216;We were told by the referee before that we would get stewards surrounding us, but I think they went on the missing list.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>   <img
