April 8 (Reuters) - Burnley manager Vincent Kompany said he did not expect to lead the Lancashire club to promotion to the Premier League in his first season in charge, but having achieved that return to the top tier he said his side are now aiming for more. Burnley secured automatic promotion to the Premier League with seven games to spare after Friday's 2-1 victory at Middlesbrough ensured Kompany's side will finish in the second-tier Championship's top two. They make their return to the top flight after one season, having been relegated on the final day of the 2021-22 campaign, in which they finished third-bottom. "It's Easter, there are seven games to go and we are already celebrating," Kompany told Sky Sports. Club chairman Alan Pace said the promotion came as a "complete surprise".
