Brighton & Hove Albion have secured promotion to the Premier League after they defeated struggling Wigan and Huddersfield played a draw with Derby County.

The Championship leaders had to wait on the result of the other game before their return to the top flight after 34 years was confirmed.

Glenn Murray's crisp strike from the edge of the area put the hosts ahead. Solly March smashed in a second after the break, before Nick Powell's header made it a nervy final five minutes.

Brighton can now start preparing for life in the top division again following their relegation in 1982-83 and subsequent journey down and back up the leagues.
