Burnley have been promoted back to the Premier League after beating Wigan 2-0 at Turf Moor today. 

The Clarets knew that a win today would be enough to bring them back to the big time, and Ashley Barnes settled the nerves after 22 minutes. 

Wigan pushed for an equaliser, but Michael Kightly doubled Burnley's lead just before half time.

Derby County in third place also took a 2-0 lead, and were hoping for a Wigan fightback. But despite having to withstand plenty of pressure, Burnley held on for the win, which sparked a crowd invasion onto the pitch.

Sean Dyche can now start planning for the Premier League.
