Town boss Kieran McKenna admitted his side’s “incredible achievement” hadn’t sunk in after the Blues’ 2-0 victory over Huddersfield sealed a place in the Premier League and a second successive promotion.

Ipswich Town are back in the Premier League after a 22-year wait following a 2-0 home victory over Huddersfield Town, a result which sealed remarkable back-to-back promotions. Wes Burns gave the Blues the lead on 27 and Omari Hutchinson settled any nerves three minutes after the break, while Town would have secured promotion even if they’d lost with Leeds, their rivals for the second automatic promotion place, beaten 2-1 at home by Southampton.
