Follow the latest action from the Premier League below.
Burnley vs Nottingham Forest
Burnley will head back to the Championship with a 2-1 defeat to Forest who confirmed their Premier League stay by finishing six points clear of third-from-bottom Luton Town. It was Wood, Burnley's all-time leading scorer in the Premier League, who proved to be the difference between the two sides on the final day with a first-half double for Forest. The New Zealand striker opened the scoring in the second minute turning in a cross from Elanga before doubling the lead 12 minutes later. Cullen pulled one back for Burnley in the second half, but it was not to be for Kompany's side who finish their stay in the top flight with a record of five wins and nine draws. The Clarets recorded an impressive 20 shots at an xG of 1.21 at Turf Moor, compared to Forest's 12 shots and xG of 1.45, but their wastefulness in front of the goal proved to be their undoing on the final day. Thanks for tuning into the live coverage of the final day of the Premier League season and goodbye until next time.
