Burnley FC have been relegated from the following a 1–0 defeat to at Turf Moor on Wednesday night, April 22.
The decisive moment came early in the match when scored in the opening minutes, giving Manchester City a narrow lead they maintained until full time.
The result confirmed a difficult season for , marking their third relegation in their last three top-flight campaigns and their fifth overall in Premier League history—second only to Norwich City in total relegations.
According to the report, Wolves had already been relegated earlier, leaving only one relegation spot still to be decided, with currently occupying that position.
Burnley’s struggles this season were reflected in their form, with just one win in their last 25 league matches. The defeat also extended their winless home run to 13 league games at Turf Moor.
Manager has overseen a challenging campaign, as the club’s relegation had become increasingly inevitable in the closing stages of the season.
“We’ve had an understanding that the inevitable was getting closer,” Parker told Sky Sports. “That curtain has come down on us now, the confirmation has been there. We’ve failed and come a little bit short today.
“I can’t be critical of this team. This team have given us everything every single day. You can fault us in certain moments where we lacked a quality about us — and we haven’t got enough points in this division. I think tonight’s performance represents us a little bit of what we are.
“I’m immensely proud of this team. I may get ridiculed for saying that in the world we live in. I’m being honest, but that’s the way it is.
“These players have come in with a humongous challenge and we’ve fallen a little bit short. We needed to overachieve this year. Overachieve and overachieve, every single game. And we haven’t managed to do that.”
Parker declined to give a definitive answer about his own future and whether he would be the coach to try to lead Burnley back to the Premier League once more.
“Regarding myself, like always, we’ve given everything, sacrificed a lot of things and we’ve fallen short.” he said.
