Fulham will be back in the Premier League next season, with Marco Silva's team confirming their promotion at the first time of asking.
The Cottagers missed a chance to mathematically make sure of things on Friday, throwing away a lead given to them by Liverpool-bound Fabio Carvalho and losing to Derby. But that loss only delayed the inevitable for a team who have been far and away the highest scorers in the second tier this season.
Aleksandar Mitrovic has already broken the individual Championship goalscoring record, passing the 31-goal high mark set by Brentford's Ivan Toney. And he was twice on target for the Whites on Tuesday as they ran out 3-0 winners over Preston.
Carvalho netted the other goal on the night at Craven Cottage.
Silva's side have twice hit six goals in league games this season, and also won 7-0 away to both Blackburn Rovers and Reading.
It has been a team full of attacking talent, with summer signing Harry Wilson also thriving and Carvalho enjoying a breakout season after making his debut last term. Wilson's Welsh international teammate Neco Williams has also impressed since arriving on loan from Liverpool in January and a number of members of last season's squad have stayed to help lead the team back up.

Promotion means Silva will manage a fourth different club in the Premier League. His first job in England saw him suffer relegation with Hull City in 2017, and he also had spells in charge of Watford and Everton before moving to west London.
Fulham's last Premier League campaign started slowly, with four straight defeats to open the season, and they never fully recovered. They never climbed above 17th in the table and were eventually relegated with just 28 points.
Not only have they already clinched promotion with time to spare, but they look set to go up as champions.
