With Swansea and Brentford failing to win their lunchtime games, Norwich have got their spot in the Premier League without playing another match.

Boss Daniel Farke remained in charge despite their bottom place finish in the Premier League last season and has masterminded a superb campaign, with 27 wins out of their 41 league fixtures so far.
Fans have already started celebrating around the world, with many supporter groups tweeting their congratulations to the team.
