Burnley were relegated from the Premier League after a 2-1 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday left Vincent Kompany’s side five points from the safety zone with one game remaining.

The result left 19th-placed Burnley with 25 points from 37 games, giving them no chance of moving out of the drop zone as they became the second team to go down after Sheffield United’s relegation was confirmed last month.

It marked a second relegation from the top flight in three seasons for Burnley, who bounced back to the Premier League last year as winners of the Championship but found themselves out of their depth this season.

“Today the Premier League is over but tomorrow we start day one of doing everything we can to get back to the Premier League,” Kompany told BBC Sport.

“I’m not here sulking and feeling sorry for us but if you take every game, every season as a learning experience, this is a step we need to get into our game.”
