Burnley To Get Shot At Sheffield United

The semifinal round of England's League Championship promotion playoffs concluded Tuesday.

At Reading:

Goals from Martin Paterson (51') and Steven Thompson (58') lifted Burnley to a 2-0 road win in game two of their two match series with Reading and a 3-0 series win on aggregate. Next for the Clarets will be the promotion final on May 25 at Wembley Stadium in London against Sheffield United with the winner earning promotion to the Premier League. The Clarets have not played in the top flight since 1975. The Blades were in the Premiership for one season, 2006-07, their last top-flight season before that ended in 1992.
