The big story is Ipswich’s return to the top flight after a 22-year absence. Back-to-back promotions in his first two seasons as a manager; that Kieran McKenna’s not half bad, eh? There’s also the matter of the two sensational Sammie Szmodics solo goals that indirectly condemned Birmingham City to League One. But amid all the drama, it’s easy to forget that Leicester City are the actual champions of the division, so let’s finish with a picture of the Foxes raising the famous old trophy as they return to the Premier League at the first attempt. Congratulations to them, and to Ipswich; good luck to Leeds, Southampton, West Brom and Norwich in the play-offs, and commiserations to Huddersfield and Birmingham, whose relegations were confirmed this afternoon. Thanks for reading this Clockwatch!
Saints will however be going into those play-offs in a better frame of mind than Leeds. Today’s result at Elland Road will see to that. Louise Taylor witnessed it, and here’s her report.
