Hull City have achieved promotion to the Premier League with a 1-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday in the playoff final at Wembley on Saturday.

Mohamed Diame scored the only goal of the game after 72 minutes with a superb long-range strike. Wednesday's Keiren Westwood was the far busier of the two goalkeepers.

The Tigers have bounced back to the top flight of English football at the first attempt in a result valued at £170 million, according to experts at Deloitte's Sports Business Group, per Sky Sports.

Steve Bruce elected to keep faith with the same XI that lost 2-0 to Derby County in the second leg of their playoff semi-final, while Carlos

Carvalhal made one change to his side, replacing Alex Lopez with Sam Hutchinson in the heart of the Owls' midfield.
