There are two awards to win this season, promotion and then the league, and then there are two more trophies to win which are the two derbies and we’ve won all four.<\/span><\/p>\n “It’s a day that will live forever for us and a tremendous achievement for the lads.”<\/span><\/p>\n Kompany, his players, staff and other club representatives celebrated wildly after the game in front of the 2,000 Burnley fans who had made the short trip to Blackburn.<\/span><\/p>\n Not only did Tuesday’s win clinch the league title for the Clarets, it also dented the home side’s hopes of reaching the play-offs, having extended Rovers’ winless league run to seven games.<\/span><\/p>\n As a player, former Belgium international Kompany lifted the Premier League and FA Cup trophies as a captain, and as a manager can now add a league championship to his CV.<\/span><\/p>\n “I haven’t lost my voice during the game, I’ve lost it at the end afterwards in celebration,” Kompany added.<\/span><\/p>\n
