Burnley 2-0 Sheffield United: Super sub Johann Gudmundsson brace seals victory for promoted Clarets, after the Blades keeper Wes Foderingham was sent off for a foul outside the area

Burnley continued their promotion celebrations on Monday with a 2-0 win over Sheffield United.

It looked a tough ask after Blades keeper Wes Fodringham was sent off after 17 minutes for a strong challenge on Nathan Tella outside his box, and they were made to pay as Johann Gudmundsson came off the bench to bag a second half brace.

The result leaves Paul Heckingbottom's side in the automatic promotion places, but their lead over third-place Luton is down to five points.
