The pundits wrote us off - Wagner hails Huddersfield's fairytale promotion to Premier League

A 4-3 penalty shootout triumph saw the Yorkshire join the elite, and their manager could not hide his delight as he celebrated an historic day

David Wagner said it was an "unbelievable story" and a "fairytale" after Huddersfield Town won promotion to the Premier League for the first time in the club's history.

Town drew all three of their Championship play-off matches but triumphed 4-3 on penalties against Reading at Wembley on Monday, having also needed spot-kicks to get through a tight semi-final against Sheffield Wednesday.

Wagner - appointed Huddersfield manager in November 2015 - led his side to promotion despite working on a small budget compared to the biggest clubs in the Championship.
