Ipswich Town, on Saturday, secured promotion 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.

Ipswich Town 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.

There were thousands of Ipswich fans outside the ground prior to kick-off with smoke bombs and flares in abundance.

The home side got off to a dominating start in front of an expectant crowd, pinning their opponent into their own half for the opening 20 minutes.

Axel Tuanzebe’s shot from just inside the penalty area was deflected past the Huddersfield post, George Hirst narrowly headed wide and Conor Chaplin’s 25-yard effort flew narrowly past Huddersfield goalkeeper Chris Maxwell’s left-hand post.

Burns headed the ball across the penalty area to an unmarked Conor Chaplin but he misdirected his header.
