Burnley Blunt Blades

Burnley overcome Sheffiled United 1-0 at Turf Moor tonight. On the face of it, that's a result that means both sides are likely to join Cardiff in the Championship end of season play-offs.

The game's sole goal came from The Clarets leadign scorer Martin Paterson on 23 minutes and put a massive dent in Sheffield United's automatic promotion hopes.

It was a result Championship play-off chasers Swansea and Preston didn't want as only miracles will now surely get those sides into the play-off zone.

Cardiff visit bottom of the Championship and already relegated Charlton at The Valley tomorrow seeking the 2 points to confirm the play-off place.
