EFL: Derby County promoted

-

 Derby County 2 - 0 Carlisle United

Derby County secured promotion to the Championship after a confident and assured final-day win against already-relegated Carlisle United at a jubilant Pride Park Stadium.

Derby County promoted

The Rams required only a draw against the division's bottom side to end their two-year stay in League One. However, Max Bird's powerful and curving shot from outside the box, which found the back of the net after just five minutes, had Derby County supporters singing and celebrating to the tune of 'we are going up'.

James Collins then sealed Paul Warne's side's promotion with a composed and close-range finish on the hour mark to complete the victory.

This marks 50-year-old Warne's fourth time leading a team to promotion from League One, having previously achieved this feat three times with Rotherham United as they alternated between the second and third tiers of English football.

The best Derby County reaction

Laurrie Richardson tweeted: "Yesterday was absolutely amazing, it’s a day I will never forget! I am very lucky to work with an amazing team at Derby County, everyone has pulled together behind the scene’s to help get The Rams back where they belong. We are Derby, and we are going up! 

Jamie, a Derby County fan, told us: The promotion back to the Championship has finally drawn a line under three years of turbulence, discontent and hope. The latter has been possible only due to the remarkable efforts of Paul Warne, his staff, and a squad of players who have forged a strong bond that has propelled the Rams forward and closed a near-devastating chapter in its history. Our owner David Clowes also deserves to be praised for his investment, level-headedness, and ability to bring success from his day-to-day property business into the boardroom at Pride Park.

"For us fans, this promotion is a reward for our unwavering loyalty towards the club. They have poured money into the club through attendance and the match-day experience, following Warne's men over land and sea to keep their foot on the gas of the promotion trail."

Chris, another Derby County fan, posted this on Facebook: "Wow, what an amazing feeling that was. We have witnessed so many awful years but now it feels like we are on the way back."

The season is finally over for Carlisle United

For Carlisle fans, the game marked the end of an awful season. They finished the season at the bottom of the league and they will need to do some serious rebuilding in League Two if they are to challenge for promotion back to League One.  

A Carlisle United fan @danlittle565 tweeted: "Big summer needed."

@MartinBrown99 added: "The season is over. No more suffering."

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Author - Olivia T Just two days after stepping in following Erik ten Hag's dismissal , Van Nistelrooy’s call for an exciting performance was more than delivered by his players. Casemiro got the party started with a stunning long-range strike and went on to score again before half-time. After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
