Watford have achieved promotion back to the Premier League.

Ismaila Sarr’s first-half penalty clinched a 1-0 win over Millwall on Saturday and subsequently secured their place in the Championship’s top two.

Brentford’s win at Bournemouth earlier in the day meant that only three points would be good enough for The Hornets to be promoted.

Watford got relegated from the top flight last season after a host of mid-season managerial changes.
