Last updated 29th Apr 2023
Ipswich Town have returned to the Championship for the first time since 2019, after a 6-0 win against Exeter City at Portman Road.
The Tractor Boys scored their first five goals in just 32 minutes in a performance which capped off a near perfect season, securing a second place finish League One.
Thousands of jubilant fans packed a sold-out Portman Road to see the result of Ipswich's first successful promotion push in over 20 years.
It's a personal triumph for boss Kieran McKenna in his first full season in charge of the club.
He was Manchester United's assistant manager under José Mourinho and took over the top job at Ipswich in December 2021.
It will mean the return of the East Anglia derby in the Championship next season, with Norwich's faltering bid for promotion back to the Premier League all but insuring they'll remain in the 2nd tier for another season.
