The Clarets came from behind to win 3-1 in their season finale thanks to a Josh Brownhill double and a Jaidon Anthony strike.
It looked like it would be enough for Scott Parker’s men to deservedly finish in first place, but Leeds United snatched the trophy away from them with a 91st minute winner at Plymouth.
Nevertheless, it’s still been a remarkable campaign for the Clarets, who end the season 33 unbeaten, having lost just twice and conceding just 16 times in 46 games.
Here’s how Burnley’s players rated:

14. SUB: Lyle Foster - 6/10
For Barnes, 79 Don't remember seeing him see much of the ball as he made his welcome return from a shoulder injury. Photo: Matt McNulty
15. SUB: Josh Laurent - 6/10
For Hannibal, 84 His introduction gave Hannibal the opportunity to receive a deserved standing ovation, while also taunting the Millwall fans as he went off. As you do. Photo: Alex Livesey
