Norwich promoted to Premier League

LONDON: Norwich were promoted to the Premier League on Monday after they defeated Portsmouth 1-0 and join champions Queens Park Rangers among the elite for next season.

Their fourth successive win - thanks to Simeon Jackson's fifth goal in six games - leaves them four points clear of third-placed Cardiff, who lost 3-0 at home to Middlesbrough earlier on Monday, with a match remaining.

It is Norwich's second successive promotion and sees them return to the Premier League after a six year absence.
