Aston Villa returned to the English football Premier League, after a three year absence, beating Derby County 2-1 in the Championship playoff final at Wembley.
Goals from Anwar El Ghazi and John McGinn put Villa 2-0 up before Martyn Waghorn pulled a goal back for Derby in the 81st minute but Dean Smith's side held on for the victory against intense pressure.
The playoff final is considered the most lucrative single game of football in the world, earning Villa an estimated $330 million in revenue.
Norwich City and Sheffield United had already secured promotion to the top flight for next season after finishing in the top two positions in the second tier Championship.
Derby, managed by former Chelsea and England midfielder Frank Lampard, got back in the game when substitute Jack Marriott's low shot was turned in by Waghorn and then piled on the pressure in the final minutes but were unable to break through.
Huddershield, Fulham and Cardiff were relegated from the Premier League.

Pocock expected to announce retirement
Brumbies flanker David Pocock is expected to announce his pending retirement from Australian rugby today before focusing on one last hurrah for the Wallabies in the 2019 World Cup.
Rugby.com.au is reporting that a Brumbies press conference scheduled for today will reveal that the 31-year-old number seven will be hanging up his Super Rugby boots at the end of the season.
It is also expected that the battered fetcher will also reveal that the 2019 World Cup will be his closing act, at least in Australian rugby.
Pocock has had a long run of injuries during his distinguished 13-year career, during which he has played 112 Super Rugby games and 77 Tests for the Wallabies.
There are suggestions the flanker could finish his time in the game with a stint in Japan.
