Play by play
- 95'
It is unlikely Blackwell will be sending a Christmas card to Mike Dean. There were a few decent penalty shouts and the red card for Ward. They will feel hard done by, but in truth the better team won and Burnley will be in the Premier League next season!
- 95'
Burnley were the better side over the 90 minutes but were lucky not to be punished - there were at least five good chances they squandered and as United pressed it looked like they could be chances they'd regret.
- 95'
The Sheffield United playes are on the floor, broken men each and everyone. Burnley are in rapture - they have reached the Premier League and are back in the top flight for the first time in 33 years.
- 95'
THE FINAL WHISTLE! BURNLEY ARE IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE THANKS TO A 1-0 AT WEMBLEY!
- 94'
Freekick against Lupoli who is throwing his body into everything, not to anyone great advantage. He's booked and Burnley win a corner...
- 93'
Lupoli tries to shoulder Jensen - he bounces of the Beast pathetically.
- 93'
Morgan is up front now adding his considerable size to the attack
- 92'
Kenny launches it long and wave after wave of United attacks follow as the ball pings around
- 91'
Quick break: Elliott could finished it with a shot or a decent ball wide to Paterson... he does neither, plays a weak pass wide to Paterson who is tackkled. Burnley should have finished this game five times over by now.
- 90'
Five minutes signalled by the fourth official - groans from Burnley!
- 90'
Magic sponges all round as Walker picks himself up.
- 89'
With no subs left to call Kalvenes and Walker go down in a heap after a clash of heads
- 88'
The United fans look like they think its all over. The Burnley fans are looking at watches and willing away the seconds.
- 87'
Burnley break - can Eagles seal it... No he cuts inside twice, left the right, can't beat either man, can't get a shot off in time and Montgomery blocks. Eagles had two men wide. A wasted chance.
- 86'
Matt Kilgallon, who has been sent up as an auxillary srtiker, is ruled to have fouled his marker
- 85'
Time running out - United have to go long ball.
- 84'
Fresh legs is the order of the day for Blackwell: makes his final change with five mins to go. Off goes Quinn, on comes Lee Hendrie. Desperate times call for desperate measures, I suppose.
- 83'
Now Eagles is pressing on the opposite flank - the first threat United have had to deal with for 10 minutes
- 83'
Jay Rodriguez fights hard to win the ball and clips a ball into the box, but it's too close to Kenny
- 82'
Morgan is livid - shouting at Dean and shaking his head. He needs to keep that temper in check
- 81'
Brian Howard's game is over - he comes off to be replaced by Arturo Lupoli
- 80'
With ten minutes to go Wembley is polarised - at one end joy, the other silence.
- 79'
Blackwell is furious - Ward's first booking was terribly unfair, his second totally justified.
- 78'
Ward is rightly booked for sticking his arm out to bring the ball down - Dean has no choice but to book him for a second time.
- 78'
Ward is sent off
