Coventry clinch promotion to end 25-year Premier League exile
Coventry secured promotion to the Premier League on Friday as the Championship leaders' 1-1 draw against Blackburn ended their 25-year exile from the top-flight.
Frank Lampard's side needed a point from their trip to Ewood Park to be certain of automatic promotion.
They did it the hard way, trailing to Ryoya Morishita's deflected 54th-minute strike before Bobby Thomas headed the priceless equaliser in the 84th minute.
