Norwich City Beat Middlesbrough, Return To EPL

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