BAILEY PEACOCK-FARRELL played Connor Roberts’ bum like bongos as Burnley celebrated winning the Championship.
Having already guaranteed promotion earlier this month, Vincent Kompany’s side had the opportunity to sew up the title this evening with a trip to bitter local rivals Blackburn.
Manuel Benson’s 66th minute goal was enough to do just that, earning a precious 1-0 win on enemy territory.
The final whistle sparked wild celebrations as the Clarets toasted their brilliant season.
Manager Kompany was thrown into the air by jubilant stars.
While players performed belly slides towards the overjoyed away end.

After the game, the ecstatic Belgian said: “I don’t know if the lads realise it – I think Jay Rod(riguez) does, he realises what it means for the people of Burnley.
“To win the title at Ewood Park, you couldn’t write it.
“A day that will live forever for us and a tremendous achievement.”
On his side’s wild reactions, he added: “You have to celebrate, 44 games in, it’s a ridiculous season so the guys have to celebrate it.”
Kompany’s exceptional management of the Clarets this season has drawn interest from the likes of Tottenham and Chelsea.
But SunSport revealed last night that the 37-year-old has told his staff that he plans to stay at Turf Moor.
