Ipswich Promoted to the Premier League after 22 years away


Ipswich have been promoted to the Premier League after their 2-0 win against Huddersfield, whose relegation to League One was confirmed as a result.

Given Kieran McKenna's side already had a three-point advantage over third-placed Leeds going into the final game of the season, they only needed a draw to secure promotion.

Yet a clinical finish from Wes Burns and Omari Hutchinson's third goal in as many games sent them up with a flourish.

The Tractor Boys have now completed historic back-to-back promotions, following their automatic promotion from Sky Bet League One as runners-up to Plymouth last season, and will play in the top flight for the first time since the 2001/02 season.

Huddersfield, meanwhile, drop into the third tier for the first time since the 2011/12 campaign.
