Burnley were made to wait to clinch the Championship title after being held to a 2-2 draw at Rotherham.

Having ensured an immediate return to the Premier League 11 days ago, Scott Twine’s left-footed volley from the edge of the box gave the Clarets the lead.

Shanene Ferguson’s inswinging corner on the stroke of half-time bamboozled Burnley with Vininho getting the final touch as he put the ball into his own net.

The away fans were celebrating after Manuel Benson’s superb curling left-footed effort into the top left corner restored the lead, but Georgie Kelly equalised from close range with five minutes to go.

The draw means Vincent Kompany’s team – who are 10 points clear of second-placed Sheffield United – still need one more win to secure the title with four games to go.
