      Birmingham City and Huddersfield Town have been relegated from the Championship.
      The two clubs join Rotherham in slipping into League One, with the Millers’ relegation having been confirmed last month.
      Huddersfield went into their clash with Ipswich needing a goal difference swing of 15 to stand any chance of survival, even if they somehow beat the Tractor Boys.
      Blues, meanwhile, faced promotion-chasing Norwich at Carrow Road knowing that a win coupled with defeat for any of Plymouth Argyle, Sheffield Wednesday or Blackburn Rovers would keep them up.
      Gary Rowett’s men defeated the Canaries 1-0, courtesy of a 55th minute goal by Paik Seung-ho.
      But incredibly Argyle, Wednesday and Blackburn all won to send Blues down.

      Ipswich came into the game knowing they only needed to avoid defeat against the relegated Terriers – but finished a fantastic season off in style as Wes Burns and Omari Hutchinson scored the goals.
      Ipswich have not been in the Premier League since the 2001/02 season.
      Led by former Manchester United coach Kieran McKenna, he has fired them to back-to-back promotions.

      Kieran McKenna is a ridiculously good coach.
      Now he’ll get to tussle it out with the best in the business in the Premier League next year.
      He told Sky Sports: “It means a lot. Mostly seeing how much it means to everyone, the players, the supporters, to be one of the leaders of that is absolutely massive, it’s a wonderful day,
      “I’m very, very proud of everyone involved. We’ve delivered a really good performance. It’s what we’ve done all year.
      “I’m sure it’ll sink in in a couple of days. There’s a lot of work to do, it’ll start in a couple of days time.”
