Nottingham Forest gained promotion to the Premier League after defeating Huddersfield 1-0 in the Championship Play-Off Final at Wembley.
It was a cagey opening half in the capital, as both sides attempted to suss one another out in the opening stages.
Yet it was the Tricky Trees who took the lead on the stroke of half-time, as Chelsea loanee Levi Colwill diverted James Garner’s cross into his own net.
The Terriers sprung out the traps in the second half and dominated the ball — but struggled to create any clear-cut chances.
Carlos Corberan’s side had a late shout after Harry Toffolo was brought down by Jack Colback, yet it was waved away following a lengthy VAR check.
But Steve Cooper’s side held out to gain promotion to the top-flight, marking the end of an incredible rise up the Championship table for the East Midlands outift.
The Reds sat bottom of the Championship when Cooper was appointed in September and their ascendence has been nothing short of remarkable as they return to the Premier League for the first time in 23 years.
The Welshman was has captured the hearts of Forest fans and knew exactly what promotion meant to the club.
He said: “I’m really pleased for the players and the supporters. “Everybody connected with the football club deserves this today and we’re now really looking forward to a positive future.
“It’s relief and pride – this isn’t about me but it’s changed my life, potentially anyway.
“We’ve brought Nottingham to Wembley today, we’ve taken over the place and here we are in the Premier League.”
