Full Premier League line-up confirmed as Nottingham Forest seal spot after Wembley win

Nottingham Forest have clinched promotion to the Premier League after a 1-0 win over Huddersfield Town in the Championship play-off final at Wembley.

Levi Colwill's own goal just before half-time was the only difference between the two sides as Forest held on for a 1-0 win that seals a top flight place for the first time since 1999.

In truth, it was a scrappy game but that will not matter one jot to the jubilant Forest fans who more than made their voices heard in a game played out in front of more than 80,000 at the national stadium.

The victory is estimated to be worth in excess of £170million to the victors. The win for the Reds now means we know the identity of all 20 clubs set to compete in the Premier League and Championship next season.

A delighted Forest skipper Joe Worrall told Sky Sports post-match: "I'm just so proud of the players, staff, fans. We've been fantastic all season - we were really unlucky to not go up automatically. We've played with honesty and we play football the right way."

Forest will now join both Fulham and Bournemouth in the top flight, after they finished first and second respectively. Those three sides will replace the relegated trio of Burnley, Norwich City and Watford.

The Canaries and Hornets will return to familiar surroundings after just a solitary season in the top flight. As for Burnley, next term will mark their first taste of the second tier since 2016. The managerless Clarets suffered a last-day relegation after defeat at home to Newcastle and Leeds United's win at Brentford saw the Whites nab the 17th spot in dramatic fashion.

Burnley will be joined by League One champions Wigan Athletic, runners-up Rotherham United and play-off winners Sunderland.
