Coventry City became the first Championship team to gain promotion to the Premier League this season.

Frank Lampard’s side sealed a return to the topflight after 25 years, thanks to a 1-1 draw with Blackburn on Friday night.

It appeared their promotion would be delayed after the hosts took the lead through Ryoya Morishita.

But Bobby Thomas rose late to head in a free-kick to get the point they needed to get over the line.

Now, after three relegations, 15 different permanent managers (including Mark Robins twice) and four different grounds, Coventry are back in the big time.
