'Immortal' - Nottingham Forest fans in dreamland after promotion to Premier League

Nottingham Forest supporters have flooded to social media to express their happiness about the Reds' promotion to the Premier League.

The Reds defeated Huddersfield Town 1-0 at Wembley Stadium thanks to a Levi Colwill own goal in the first half and never looked like letting the Terriers into the contest. The victory means Steve Cooper will lead his side out in the Premier League in August for the first time in 23 years.

Despite two controversial calls from VAR, Forest held onto their lead and sent the travelling Reds fans into ruptures at the national stadium.
