Vincent Kompany sets his Burnley side challenge of beating Reading's record Championship points total of 106 as the Clarets close in on the title with victory over Sheffield United

Vincent Kompany challenged his promoted Burnley side to clinch the Championship title and then try to break the record for the division's highest points total.

The Clarets clinched promotion with a win at Middlesbrough on Good Friday, and two goals from Johann Berg Gudmundsson saw them beat second-placed Sheffield United on Monday night to leave themselves needing five points from the last six games to go up as champions.

Kompany, who celebrated his 37th birthday with the win over the Blades, hopes that could be achieved as early as next weekend, but said he does not want his team to let it rest at that.
