Burnley’s hopes of retaining their Premier League status were dashed on Saturday 11th May as they succumbed to a 2-1 defeat against Tottenham, sealing their relegation from the top-flight division.

Vincent Kompany’s squad needed a victory in their clash in north London to extend their survival battle to the final day of the season. However, despite Jacob Bruun Larsen providing an early lead for the second-bottom Clarets, goals from Pedro Porro and Micky van de Ven secured the win for Tottenham.

With just one game remaining and trailing five points behind fourth-bottom Nottingham Forest, Burnley’s relegation to the Championship was confirmed, joining the already-demoted Sheffield United in the lower division.

Although Bruun Larsen’s 25th-minute opener offered Burnley a glimmer of hope, Porro’s equalizer seven minutes later and van de Ven’s late winner dashed their survival aspirations.

Kompany, who guided Burnley to the Championship title last season, struggled to replicate that success in the Premier League, with the team managing just five league victories and spending most of the campaign in the relegation zone.

Despite securing the Championship title in his debut season, Kompany’s squad endured a challenging Premier League campaign, registering only two wins in their last 19 matches.
