Daniel Farke’s Leeds beat Stoke 6-0 and Burnley’s 2-1 win at home to Sheffield United in the later kick-off confirmed both clubs will be in England’s top division next season.

Leeds and Burnley both have 94 points and neither can now be caught by Sheffield United (86), who have won just one of their past five games.
