EPL: Coventry City promoted

Coventry City became the first Championship team to gain promotion to the Premier League this season.

Frank Lampard’s sealed a return to the topflight after 25 years, thanks to a 1-1 draw with Blackburn on Friday night.

It appeared their promotion would be delayed after the hosts took the lead through Ryoya Morishita.

But Bobby Thomas rose late to head in a free-kick to get the point they needed to get over the line.

Now, after three relegations, 15 different permanent managers (including Mark Robins twice) and four different grounds, Coventry are a back in the big time.
