Nottingham Forest fans took to the streets to celebrate after the Reds were promoted to the Premier League after a 1-0 victory over Huddersfield at Wembley. There were some nervy moments in the second half and two penalty claims waved away for the Terriers before six minutes of added time, as Forest hung on for their momentous victory.
It was an unlikely end to a season that started with Forest bottom of the Championship after seven games with one point. A Levi Colwill own goal proved the difference in the play-off decider to fire Forest to promotion.
