EPL: Ipswich Town gain promotion to the Premier League after 23 years

After 23 years of featuring in the English Premier League, Ipswich Town on Saturday gained promotion to the upper division.

Ipswich joined Leicester City to secure the two automatic promotion tickets  after defeating Huddersfield 2-0 on Saturday afternoon.

Given Kieran McKenna’s team already had a three-point lead over third-placed Leeds going into the final fixture of the season and needed a draw to secure promotion.

Goals Wes Burns and Omari Hutchinson were enough for them on the day.

The Tractor Boys have now completed historic back-to-back promotions.

Last season, they won automatic promotion from Sky Bet League One as runners-up to Plymouth.

Ipswich will play in the English top flight for the first time since the 2001/02 season.
