Sheffield United 2-0 West Brom: Blades seal Premier League promotion
Sheffield United beat West Brom at Bramall Lane to win promotion back to the Premier League after two years in the Championship.
Berge's goal totally knocked the stuffing out of Carlos Corberan's men though and the Blades' margin of victory could have been more comprehensive at the end.Their 26th league win of the season takes them seven points clear of third-placed Luton who only have two fixtures left. However, things fell apart the following campaign both on and off the pitch. Wilder left the club in March before they finished bottom of the table with just 23 points under the caretaker charge of Heckingbottom.
Although they fell to a penalty shoot-out defeat by Nottingham Forest in the semi-finals they carried on where they had left off when this season started and won seven of their opening 10 matches. The Blades' success on the pitch has been in direct contrast to the uncertainty off it. They were placed under a transfer embargo in January, lifted last week, for missed payments to another club and a protracted takeover by Nigerian businessman Dozy Mmobuosi remains incomplete.
There's star quality, too, from the enigmatic Iliman Ndiaye; all Blades fans will be hoping promotion wards off any suitors.
