Ipswich promoted back to Premier League at first time of asking

Ipswich have been promoted to the Premier League after a 3-0 win over QPR.

A draw would have been enough if Millwall failed to beat Oxford and Middlesbrough did not beat Wrexham by more than five goals. They would also have been up regardless if Millwall and Middlesbrough failed to win.

However, goals from George Hirst, Jaden Philogene and Kasey Palmer did the job at Portman Road.
