'Mark my words' - Man City fans make Vincent Kompany prediction after Burnley promotion confirmed
manchestereveningnews.co.ukVincent Kompany's Burnley side confirmed their promotion back into the Premier League with a 2-1 win over Middlesbrough on Friday evening.
The former Manchester City captain has enjoyed an outstanding season in charge at Turf Moor, overseeing a major rebuild from the side that was relegated last season as well as transforming the club's style of play.
The Clarets have dominated the second-tier from the off, with a high-pressing and expansive style. A run of 18 games unbeaten - 14 of which were wins - took Kompany and Burnley to within touching distance of promotion, with Luton's draw at Millwall on Friday handing them the chance to secure it at Middlesbrough.
