Norwich City promoted to Premier League

Norwich City earned promotion to the Premier League on Saturday with five games to spare, after rivals Brentford and Swansea City failed to win their Championship (second-tier) matches.

After finishing at the bottom of the Premier League in 2019-20, Daniel Farke's Norwich have enjoyed an outstanding season and are top of the Championship standings with 90 points from 41 matches. Only second-placed Watford, currently eight points behind, can now deny Farke's side the second-tier title.

Meanwhile, West Ham United's top-four hopes were dealt a big blow as Joe Willock's late header earned Newcastle United a 3-2 win in a see-saw Premier League clash yesterday- a result that put the hosts within sight of Premier League safety.

There was a final cruel twist for the visitors as Newcastle Willock headed home a late winner.
