Huddersfield Town goalkeeper Danny Ward was first on the scene after Christopher Schindler stroked home the winning penalty in Monday's Championship playoff against Reading. Soon joining the throng were midfielder Aaron Mooy and forward Izzy Brown.
A promotion party could begin, even though Ward, Mooy and Brown are already Premier League players for Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea respectively, and only on loan to David Wagner's promoted team.
Elsewhere in the Championship, Bristol City stayed up after 23 goals from 19-year-old Chelsea loanee Tammy Abraham. The Premier League champions' prolific loaning of players has continued this season, and far beyond the Championship, though they are not alone in farming out talent.
