Burnley to offer Taylor Harwood-Bellis Premier League lifeline to replace defender who quit in agents fee row
BURNLEY boss Scott Parker is keen to bring Taylor Harwood-Bellis back for a second spell at Turf Moor. Harwood-Bellis is keen to stay in the Premier League after Southampton's dismal relegation this season. 3 The defender helped Burnley win promotion under Vincent Kompany during a spell on loan from Manchester City in the 2022-23 season. And now the Clarets are interested in buying him — or, more likely, taking him on a loan deal with an option to buy. West Ham are also big admirers of Harwood-Bellis, 23. But they have a limited budget and would only make a move if they sell and need to fill a hole. Burnley have lost CJ Egan-Riley to Marseille for nothing at the end of his contract. The 22-year-old quit because they would not pay a huge agent's fee. Harwood-Bellis is facing a season in the Championship with Saints, so a second spell at promoted Burnley would suit him. Meanwhile, Clarets skipper Josh Brownhill is yet to commit to a new deal. And that has alerted Ipswich Town after their relegation. The 29-year-old midfielder and his adviser are looking for a big pay day. Scott Parker sheds tears in emotional celebration with family as Burnley boss retains hundred per cent promotion record Ipswich may better the money on offer at Turf Moor even if it means dropping back to the Championship. 3

Millwall fan's view: Alex Neil has brought new energy to the Lions
Millwall's quest to find a late-season play-off spot proved in the end to be a game too far at Turf Moor on Saturday. In many ways this was a magnificent performance by the Lions, who gave everything to find the win they needed to make the top six. But a second half of relentless Burnley pressure proved, in the end, to be too much for the injury-hit Londoners, who were left to rue sloppy defending almost from the kick-off following Mihailo Ivanovic's top-quality finish on 10 minutes, allowing the Clarets straight back into the game having put them on the back foot. Follow that with Josh Coburn's howler in front of an open goal on 35 minutes and it was self-inflicted errors that probably sealed Millwall's fate, as chances like that simply can't be missed at this level. Harsh, but true. Overall, Burnley were worthy winners on the day, though the Lions will be looking forward in anticipation to the 2025-26 campaign already. I know I am. Since his arrival in January, gaffer Alex Neil has brought in new energy and attacking zeal, which teamed with the club's emphasis on youth development augurs well next season. Roll on August!

Brownhill's double sinks Sheffield United and earns promotion for Burnley
When Burnley last escaped the Championship for the promised land of the Premier League, they blew a hole in the wall under Vincent Kompany. Scott Parker decided it was more sensible to chisel their way out, inch by inch, completing their route to freedom with a tense victory over Sheffield United. Amid the change of owners, managers and styles, the captain Josh Brownhill has been a mainstay throughout and it was fitting his two goals completed the painstaking job. Parker's promotion push has been the polar opposite to Kompany's approach. The Belgian's all-conquering side played fast, aggressive, attacking football, whereas the current style is based on discipline and defensive organisation. Burnley have conceded 15 goals in 44 games, a record anyone would be proud of and the foundation of their success. It was always going to be a nervous 90 minutes against Sheffield United, who started the match five points behind and maintained a chance of catching Burnley. The opening exchanges lacked quality but not aggression as the two teams wanted to show their desire for promotion. Late challenges were the norm until Gustavo Hamer was cautioned for a needless kick on Brownhill to gift the hosts a free-kick. From the set piece came the opener. The ball was worked out from the right to Marcus Edwards, whose cross belatedly landed at Josh Cullen's feet. He aimed towards the corner, only for Michael Cooper to palm away. The waiting Brownhill smashed into the roof of the net, taking Turf Moor's off in the same moment. Considering Burnley had not conceded twice in a league match all season, a turnaround was already a difficult task for Sheffield United, even with more than an hour to play. This was not a message received by Thomas Cannon, whose smart run allowed him to latch on to Hamer's pass and beat James Trafford with a ferocious strike. It was striker's first goal for the club since joining in January. Chris Wilder has looked frustrated in recent weeks as his side have slipped behind Burnley and Leeds. They were serious rivals for an automatic promotion spot, even favourites, before losing three matches in a row, a fatal error when the situation was so tight, hindered by lapses in concentration. The leveller increased the tension inside the stadium, although that was soon relieved when Anel Ahmedhodzic decided to kick Hannibal Mejbri up in the air inside the penalty area, leaving Wilder perplexed. Brownhill took responsibility, sending Cooper the wrong way to return the home support to a state of delirium. Brownhill punched the air with delight and encouraged more noise. Seeing things through is a core part of Parker's strategy, exemplified by him taking off their most dangerous player in Edwards just after the hour mark and replacing him with the stoic central midfielder Josh Laurent. While Burnley were putting more behind the ball, Wilder sent on Tyrese Campbell and Jesurun Rak-Sakyi in search of an equaliser against a team offering up few chances. Sign up to Football Daily Kick off your evenings with the Guardian's take on the world of football after newsletter promotion Trafford has rebuilt his reputation as one of the country's best young goalkeepers after struggling in Burnley's error-ridden season in the top flight under Kompany, when they conceded an average of more than two a game. It's been very different this year with Connor Roberts, CJ Egan-Riley, Maxime Estève and Bashir Humphreys or Lucas Pires in front of him, but Trafford has still regularly produced vital saves, most notably in the goalless draw against Sunderland in January when he repelled two late penalties. There were no such big moments in this match as Trafford easily coped with everything thrown at him in the second half to leave Wilder with the tricky task of the playoffs. Parker will have a point to prove as a manager back in the top flight. His previous two experiences resulted in him being relegated with Fulham and sacked after four games when in charge of Bournemouth. His complaint with the latter was that they did not have enough quality in the squad and Burnley will need to invest intelligently in the summer, and avoid losing any of his key men, if they are to compete, but they could be better equipped than Kompany's version thanks to their defensive solidity. Last season's promoted teams are all set to come back down with few points on the table, showing the ever growing gap between the divisions. Not that those celebrating at full time were concerned by anything other than the party to come.
