Ipswich earn promotion to the Premier League

Goals from Wes Burns and Omari Hutchinson fired Ipswich back into the Premier League for the first time in 22 years with the 2-0 win over Huddersfield also confirming the Terriers’ relegation.

That result for Ipswich – managed by Fermanagh’s Kieran McKenna – negated anything third-placed Leeds, who began the day three points behind, could manage – which turned out to be a 2-1 home defeat to the team immediately below them Southampton.

After four defeats in their last six matches Daniel Farke’s team are the first second-tier side since Sunderland in 1998 to earn 90 points or more and not go up automatically.

West Brom’s 3-0 win over Preston secured fifth place, overtaking Norwich who claimed the final play-off place despite a 1-0 defeat to Birmingham, who were still consigned to the third tier for the first time since 1995 as fellow strugglers Plymouth, Sheffield Wednesday and Blackburn all won.
