Norwich City have sealed their return to the Premier League at the first time of asking after both Swansea and Brentford dropped points to secure the Canaries’ automatic promotion.
Daniel Farke’s side went into Saturday knowing that victory over Bournemouth in the late kick-off would seal promotion but Swansea’s draw with Wycombe and Brentford’s stalemate with Millwall meant Norwich were promoted without kicking a ball.
It is the Canaries’ fourth promotion from the Championship in a decade and sparks an immediate return to the top-flight after their relegation last season.
