Burnley sealed automatic promotion to the Barclays Premier League as two first-half goals ensured a 2-0 win over Wigan and sparked mass celebrations at Turf Moor.

Ashley Barnes opened the scoring for Sean Dyche's side in the 22nd minute before Michael Kightly doubled the advantage shortly before half-time with a well-taken free-kick.

The Clarets are now eight points clear of third-placed Derby with two games to play, meaning they go up automatically for the first time since 1973 and return to the top flight after being relegated in 2010.

Edgar sat out the win from the subs bench.
