And Leeds celebrated their latest second-tier triumph with a parade around the city on Monday.
Thousands of supporters turned up to cheer on their side ahead of next season's Premier League return.
But Leeds players continued to party into the night.
And they gave Burnley a taste of their own medicine with a karaoke version of Natasha Bedingfield's hit song 'Unwritten'.
The pop star sang the chart-topping tune live on the Turf Moor pitch following Burnley's final-day victory over Millwall.
The Clarets had been set to clinch the Championship title before Manor Solomon's last-gasp Leeds winner.
And the Lillywhites rubbed salt in the wound as Ethan Ampadu and Patrick Bamford sang 'Unwritten' at an afterparty with friends and family.
Fans were quick to react, with one saying: 'One song for the Burnley fanbase in meltdown.'
Another declared: 'Let them enjoy themselves.'
While Ampadu himself added: 'OK I know I have a sore head right now. Me and Pat actually sang this song together in pre-season.'

Meanwhile, Belgian winger Largie Ramazani got in the party mood with a karaoke rendition of 'We're all in this together' from High School Musical.
He led a jubilant singalong as pals danced around him.
And there was even a spot of guitar-playing from Bamford, who performed 'Wagon Wheel' by Darius Rucker alongside some fans.
Finally, Leeds star led a chant of 'Champions again ole, ole' to toast their success after chairman Paraag Marathe confirmed that Farke will stay on as manager.
He said: 'I'm very excited to run it back with Daniel and collaborate with him.
'I'm under no illusions that it is going to be easy. The past two seasons, the three promoted teams came straight back down but we have something they don't have.
'We have Daniel Farke first of all. I have ended the speculation. He is my man.'

I'm an ex Liverpool kid who was lost boy at Hibs and banned from every Edinburgh nightclub for peeing against a wall
The former Liverpool kid admits his time in the capital in 2011 was life-changing as he changed his ways Victor Palsson was barred from every nightclub in Edinburgh when he was a Hibs player. The Icelander got drunk and was caught urinating against a wall, which resulted in a blanket ban. But after quitting the booze, Palsson got his career back on track. And the former Liverpool kid has enjoyed a career which has taken him from New York to Holland, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium - and now Plymouth. Palsson, along with his Iceland team-mates, left Scotland looking punch drunk at Hampden on Friday night as they secured a 3-1 friendly win. It brought back memories of his time in the capital with the Hibees in 2011, which he says was a life-changing experience. The 34-year-old, who scored Iceland's third goal against Steve Clarke's side, said: 'It was a very long time ago. I was a young lost boy back then. 'Looking back, I was young and not really aware of the importance of life and being a professional footballer. I made a lot of mistakes, especially at Hibs. It started off OK but then it wasn't good. 'I didn't leave in a good way either, so I think my time there is remembered for the wrong things. There was a big incident, a six month ban from all the nightclubs. But as I said, I was lost. 'It helped me focus, 100 percent. A few years later I made some big decisions to sort out my life. I'm happy I did that. I gave up drinking. The time at Hibs played a part in that. 'I just couldn't handle my drinking. I gave it up and haven't had a drink for almost 11 years now. I had to focus and I've managed to make a decent career.' Palsson is now at Plymouth Argyle who were relegated from the English Championship last season. That was despite the efforts of Scottish striker Ryan Hardie, who bagged 12 goals for the Pilgrims. And Palsson insists he could play for Scotland. He said: 'Ryan is a really good player and I hope we can hold on to him. 'For two years, he's hit double figure goals in the Championship. He talks to us about Scotland. He's a great professional who wants to play for his country and I think he's done enough to get a chance - even in a friendly. 'Hopefully we'll see him play for Scotland in the future. Ryan is a great finisher and so quick. He's rapid.' Iceland fully deserved their shock win over Clarke's men at Hampden on Friday night - even if they were helped by mistakes from rookie keeper Ciaran Slicker. Palsson was delighted with the result and admits they took advantage of the goalie's fragility. He said: 'We played some great football in the first half and didn't give away many chances. We suffered a bit in the second half but overall it was a fair win. 'I try to put myself in the shoes of the young goalkeeper. He came on after two minutes and we could see with his first few kicks, he wasn't 100 percent. 'We just started pressing him and it gave us blood on the teeth. We heard the crowd boo at half-time so we just said, keep doing what we're doing. It was a good win for us.'

Liverpool star responds to rumours he could complete Bayern Munich transfer
Cody Gakpo has distanced himself from reports that he could be set to leave Liverpool for Bayern Munich. The 26-year-old forward enjoyed a strong season with the Reds, racking up ten goals and four assists in the Premier League to help the club win a record-equaling 20th title. But there has been some speculation that Gakpo's time on Merseyside could be coming to an end, with German champions Bayern having identified him as a target for the transfer window. Leroy Sane is expected to move on from the Allianz Arena this summer and Bayern are scouring the transfer market for a left-sided attacker to replace the four-time Bundesliga winner. However, Liverpool head coach Arne Slot is determined to keep hold his fellow countryman and has reportedly told club bosses to do everything in their power to block his exit. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link we'll send you so we can get football news tailored to you. The Dutch attacker has three years remaining on his current contract with Liverpool. Facing the media ahead of the Netherlands' 2-0 victory over Finland, Gakpo insisted he had no knowledge of any interest from Bayern. 'I haven't heard anything about it myself. I'm closing myself off from it,' he told reporters. 'Maybe my agent has heard something, but I'm focusing on myself.' Gakpo has been with Liverpool for three years having completed a move from PSV Eindhoven for a fee in the region of £40million in January 2023. In March, Gakpo credited Slot with transforming his game after a somewhat mixed opening 18 months in English football. 'I think he offered me a lot. The first thing he did was change my position slightly, so back to the left,' the former PSV man said. More Trending 'That was maybe a small change on paper but for me it was a big change. 'Then I had to come into the team as well and he gave me the chance to show myself. 'Obviously he's trying to help me to develop myself in moments in the game, how to be smarter, how to be better, how to get yourself more in scoring positions and giving the decisive pass and everything like this. 'He's helping me a lot. The manager and the staff, they try to help everybody, and I think everybody can see a lot of players are developing well.' For more stories like this, check our sport page.

PSG president in fresh dig at Kylian Mbappe & takes swipe at Premier League fans
Paris Saint-Germain finally won the Champions League last week, but the French club's president could not resist making a dig at former player Kylian Mbappe in the celebrations Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has made a fresh dig at Kylian Mbappe in the wake of his side's Champions League win. The French side hammered Inter Milan in last week's final to lift the European Cup for the first time. It came a year after superstar Mbappe opted to leave the Parc des Princes for Real Madrid on a free transfer. Mbappe's decision infuriated Al-Khelaifi, with the France captain insisting he was moving to the Bernabeu in the hope of winning the game's biggest trophies. But Los Blancos have ended the season trophyless, besides the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup. PSG meanwhile have claimed the treble, romping to the Ligue 1 title, lifting the Coupe de France and now finally winning the Champions League. The tensions between Mbappe and his former club are still bubbling away, even as PSG celebrate their successful season. Al-Khelaifi has brought those tensions to the surface once again. The Qatari has also taken aim at fans of the Premier League, who have frequently branded Ligue 1 a 'farmer's league' due to PSG's dominance. Al-Khelaifi highlighted the fact PSG had beaten four English teams on their way to being crowned European champions. "It's easier to score goals in La Liga than in Ligue 1," Al-Khelaïfi told Al-Kass Sports. "Luis Enrique proudly represented Ligue 1 and defended it against Premier League fans who called it the Farmers League. "We ended up beating Manchester City, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal in the Champions League this season. Nobody thought we would win the title. We approached the Champions League step by step. "The match at Anfield gave us confidence. Luis Enrique told me before the match against Arsenal that we would win the Champions League. I was delighted with every goal in the final. "I could hardly believe the 5-0 victory against Inter. This club has become a source of pride for Qatar and France around the world. After this incredible achievement, the club is now profitable." Al-Khelaifi's comments come after Mbappe insisted he holds no bitterness towards PSG for their win. Instead, the France captain hailed Luis Enrique's side, branding them the 'best in Europe'. "Did I leave too soon? No," Mbappe said on Saturday. "My story was over, it had to end. No bitterness, I had reached the end of the road. I would have tried anything. It was just fate that meant it had to happen without me. "I was happy, they deserve it, they've been through so much trouble, I've been through that too. They were the best team in Europe. I don't remember seeing a 5-0. It's 100% deserved, they're becoming the team everyone wants to beat. "A blank season? Are you sure? We won two titles. That's the importance of words. We missed out on important titles. This year has been enriching. PSG winning the Champions League without me, it doesn't affect me. It's a good thing. I think that in a career we all have challenges. I'm a little more in the eye of the storm, it's good."
