Huddersfield vs Nottingham Forest - LIVE!
Levi Colwill’s own goal sent Nottingham Forest into the Premier League for the first time in 23 years after a 1-0 Championship play-off final win over Huddersfield at Wembley.
Luckless centre-back Colwill put through his own net after James Garner’s teasing cross, that Jack Colback ducked under and Ryan Yates failed to reach.
Chelsea’s 19-year-old loanee Colwill has impressed hugely at Huddersfield but it was a painful afternoon for him, while Garner, on loan from Manchester United, had a match to remember.
Huddersfield were perhaps unfortunate not to be awarded at least one penalty, as Harry Toffolo was booked for diving in the box and Lewis O’Brien had his appeals waved away. On both occasions, VAR to not come to the Terriers’ rescue.
Forest were bottom of the table and winless when Steve Cooper took charge in September - now they have won football’s most lucrative match and are headed to the top tier.
