West Bromwich Albion returned to the English Premier League
after a two-year absence to join Leeds United in the limelight
next season, after a 2-2 draw with its guest Queen Park Rangers
on Wednesday.
The point taken by coach Slaven Belic’s team was sufficient
to ensure West Bromwich finished second, after his rival
Brentford overcame his chance by losing 2-1 to his humble
guest Barnsley.
Brentford’s victory would send him to the limelight for the first
time since 1947.
The Egyptian defense heart, Ahmed Hegazy, was absent from
the basic formation of West Bromwich, after Bilic preferred not
to push him, but he will now return to the Premier League after
only two seasons.
Brentford will play the promotion extension with Fulham and
Cardiff City, but Nottingham Forest will miss the goal
difference after Swansea City booked the last card for
the extension.
At the bottom of the second-tier ranking, Hull City and Charlton
fell with Wigan Athletic.
Leeds United have already won the second division title
to return to the Premier League after an absence of 16 years.
