Norwich City were promoted to the Premier League without kicking a ball on Saturday as draws for Swansea and Brentford sent the Championship leaders back into the top-flight.
Daniel Farke’s side have dominated the second tier with 27 wins from their 41 games so far, earning an immediate return to the Premier League following last season’s relegation.
The Canaries’ promotion was guaranteed after third-placed Swansea were held to a 2-2 draw by bottom of the table Wycombe, while fourth-placed Brentford drew 0-0 with Millwall.
Norwich are 14 points clear of Swansea, who have four games left, and 16 ahead of Brentford, who have five matches left.
Gareth Ainsworth has shared his thoughts on his side’s 2-2 draw with Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium. Two second-half goals from Admiral Muskwe and Garath McCleary looked like they had given the Chairboys all three points in their battle to avoid the drop. However, a Jamal Lowe penalty and a Liam Cullen header rescued a point for the Swans. Gareth Ainsworth: “If the worst were to happen, I’m so excited to tackle League One again with the best squad I’ve ever had, but we can still try and get 46 points. It’s not over yet.” James Richings | Bucks Free Press (@James BFP) April 17, 2021
