Lowton believes Europe qualification pinnacle for Burnley players

Matt Lowton believes Europa League qualification would be a career highlight for the majority of Burnley's squad.

The Clarets look destined to clinch seventh place on the Premier League table, and if Southampton don't win the FA Cup, that means they'll be playing across the continent next season for the first time in 50 years.

"I can't really put it in to words. On a personal level, from when I joined three years ago in the Championship, to now say that we're on the cusp of Europe, it's massive," said Lowton.

"You go home after every game, you're buzzing, the family is and everyone involved with the club is as well. It would be a massive achievement so we need to push on and get there.

"There are no medals at the end of it but as an achievement this is huge. It would be the biggest high that most of the lads in the dressing room have had.

"We're all looking to get over the line, qualify for Europe, and finish as high as we can."
