Nottingham Forest will be playing Premier League football next season.
It’s a couple of days that won’t ever be forgotten by Forest fans and players as they celebrate making it to the top flight of English football for the first time in over 20 years. A day at Wembley on Sunday has been followed by a celebration in Nottingham under 24 hours after the team secured their place in the Premier League.
Steve Cooper’s men took on Huddersfield in the play-off final at Wembley Stadium. An own goal by Terriers’ defender Levi Colwill just before half time proved to be the decisive moment in the 1-0 win.

The final whistle at Wembley was met with scenes of celebration and jubilation both under the iconic arch as well as back in Nottingham. Those celebrations have continued into the new week.
A celebration event has been held at the Old Market square with thousands of fans in attendance to share the celebrations with the squad before preparations for the new campaign get underway.
Players made their way out onto the balcony to celebrate with the huge crowd below, with members of the squad addressing the crowd . On loan striker Keinan Davis was obviously enjoying the celebrations.
A video from the balcony from commentator Darren Fletcher shows the Villa loanee first taking his shirt off to throw into the crowd below. The forward then proceeds to take both shoes off and throw them to fans, leaving him in just his trousers while dancing along to the music with fans.
Davis also appears to go to remove his trousers before being persuaded against it by teammates including Jack Colback. The striker instead settles for continuing his celebrations with the fans below.
