Norwich City won have swept back into the Premier League with a 2-0
victory over Middlesbrough in the Championship playoff final.

Neil's side raced into a two-goal lead inside the first 15 minutes at
Wembley on Monday thanks to goals from Cameron Jerome and Nathan Redmond
and that early blitz was enough to secure an immediate and lucrative
return to the Premier League just 12 months after the pain of
relegation.
Promotion is worth an estimated £120 million ($237
million), but, while the cash is important to Norwich's prosperity, it
was the thought of taking their place alongside the likes of Chelsea and
Manchester United that fuelled the jubilant celebrations at the final
whistle.
Winning promotion in such style will also add to the
growing reputation of the 33-year-old Neil, a fiery Scot who has already
earned comparisons with former Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson.
