Sheffield United defeated West Bromwich Albion 2-0 at Bramall Lane on Wednesday to seal a return to the English Premier League, two years after being relegated.
Paul Heckingbottom’s Sheffield United completed the task of winning promotion back to the Premier League with a solid win over West Brom. That result sealed their return to the top flight with three games to spare.
Sheffield back in the Premier League
Heckingbottom was appointed on a permanent basis in November 2021 after a poor start to the season under Slavisa Jokanovic.
Under Heckingbottom, the club reached the playoffs, only to be knocked out in the semi-finals by eventual winners Nottingham Forest.
Sheffield have done well to hold off Middlesbrough and Luton despite off-field turmoil, including ownership uncertainty and a recent transfer embargo.
Burnley are the only team with a better defensive record than the Blades, and they combined that solid defending with the third-best goalscoring tally in the division.
Burnley finish as champions
As a result of Burnley's victory over Blackburn Rovers on Tuesday, the Clarets were promoted as champions after losing only three games all season.
The winner of the Championship play-off final on May 27 at Wembley will join Burnley and Sheffield United in the top flight next season.
