Sheffield United secured a return to the Premier League after a two-season absence, as goals from Sander Berge and Anel Ahmedhodzic were enough to defeat West Bromwich Albion and confirm promotion from the Championship with three games to spare.
The Blades knew three points from their final four games would be enough to join Burnley in the top flight next season, and they needed only one chance to get what they needed, overcoming a sloppy start to secure second spot.
Albion, meanwhile, remain ninth and two points adrift of the playoffs with two games left. The onus was on United to start on the front foot with such a high reward at stake for victory, but it was their opponents who had the brighter of the chances throughout the first half.
Karlan Grant could and perhaps should have done better from a Jed Wallace cross inside the opening five minutes, heading over Wes Foderingham’s bar from close range.
