Ipswich Town have been promoted to the Premier League following a dramatic final day of the Championship season. After being relegated from the top flight a year ago, Kieran McKenna's side secured an immediate return by clinching second place with a comfortable 3-0 win against Queens Park Rangers.
Early Goals Set the Tone
Scoring twice inside the opening nine minutes, Ipswich got the party started early at Portman Road. George Hirst put them in front before Jaden Philogene doubled their lead shortly after. Kasey McAteer then put the result beyond doubt by grabbing Ipswich's third in the 85th minute.
McKenna's Remarkable Record
McKenna has now driven the Tractor Boys to three separate promotions in four-and-a-half years. This achievement marks a stunning turnaround for the club, which had struggled in the Championship before his arrival.
The victory confirmed Ipswich's return to the Premier League at the first time of asking, while consigning Millwall and Middlesbrough to the play-offs. The final day also saw other key matches that determined the final standings in the Championship table.
This is a developing story, and further updates will follow as more information becomes available.
