Huddersfield manager David Wagner has dig at Ian Holloway after being tipped for relegation as club celebrate promotion to the Premier League

Huddersfield Town manager David Wagner couldn't resist a swipe at QPR manager Ian Holloway after his side defied expectations by sealing promotion to the Premier League.

The Terriers are returning to the top flight for the first time in 45 years after overcoming Reading 4-3 on penalties after a goalless draw in the Championship play-off final at Wembley.

Christopher Schindler scored the winning penalty after Liam Moore had blazed over and Jordan Obita saw his effort saved by Danny Ward - and Huddersfield boss Wagner was delighted to prove his critics wrong.
