Sheffield United promoted: Best pictures of fans and players celebrating as Blades return to Premier League

The club is returning to the top flight at the second time of asking after the Blades were relegated from the Premier League at the end of the 2020/21 season. The heartbreaking of relegation was far from the minds of fans in Sheffield last night however, as goals from Sander Berge and Anel Ahmedhodžić saw Paul Heckingbottom’s men overcome promotion-chasing West Brom.

The celebrations will have gone on long into the night for fans and players of United, who join Burnley as clubs to be returning to the Premier League next season, after the Lancashire club were confirmed as champions on Tuesday night.

The Blades’ win last night saw them increase their tally to 85 points, with three games left to play. It means they can’t overhaul Vincent Kompany’s Burnley side at the top of the table, but puts them seven points clear of Luton in third, who have just two games left to play.

Defeat for West Brom was a hammer blow to their play-off chances, and leaves them ninth in the league but just three points off Coventry in fifth. However, there are no such worries for fans of the Blades, who repeated the feats of the 2018/19 side by finishing second, meaning automatic promotion.
