Sheffield United secure promotion to the Premier League for the 2023-24 campaign with a 2-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion in the Championship.

Sheffield United secured promotion to the Premier League for the 2023-24 campaign with a 2-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion in the Championship on Wednesday night.

The Blades entered the match knowing that a win would see them join Burnley in securing automatic promotion to England's top flight for next season.

Sander Berge made the breakthrough in the 58th minute of the contest, with the midfielder converting into an empty net after brilliant work from Iliman Ndiaye, who had capitalised on a defensive mistake.

The home side then doubled their advantage in the 76th minute, with Anel Ahmedhodzic converting a shot from George Baldock into the back of the net from inside the box.

The result moved Sheffield United onto 85 points from 43 matches, seven clear of third-placed Luton Town, who only have two games of the regular season left to play.

As a result, the Blades will be back in the Premier League next season, ultimately spending just two campaigns away from the top flight following their relegation in 2020-21.

Sheffield United now have three pressure-free games against Preston North End, Huddersfield Town and Birmingham City to finish their campaign.

The defeat was a huge blow for West Brom and their playoff hopes, meanwhile, with the result leaving the Baggies in ninth spot in the table, two points behind sixth-placed Sunderland with two games left.
