Norwich City were on Saturday promoted to the Premier League without kicking a ball as draws for Swansea and Brentford sent the Championship leaders back into the top-flight. Daniel Farke’s side have dominated the second tier with 27 wins from their 41 games so far, earning an immediate return to the Premier League following last season’s relegation. Norwich are 14 points clear of Swansea, who have four games left, and 16 ahead of Brentford, who have five matches left. They are also eight points clear of second-placed Watford, who lost 1-0 at local rivals Luton on Saturday. Farke and his players were able to celebrate several hours before their own match because of the slips from Swansea and Brentford.
