Wolves are back in top flight after Fulham falter

WOLVES secured a return to the Premier League without kicking a ball after Brentford stole a dramatic 1-1 draw at promotion-chasing Fulham.

The Cottagers needed a win in the late kick-off to regain second place from Cardiff in the Championship and to deny Wolves a top-flight spot for the first time since 2012.

Aleksandar Mitrovic’s 70th-minute goal had looked like putting Wolves’ party on hold but Neal Maupay’s lastgasp header for Brentford sent Nuno Espirito Santo’s side up.

Third-placed Fulham will have to gather themselves after falling a point and a place behind Cardiff – who have a game in hand.

The Bluebirds left it late but kept themselves on course for an automatic promotion place with a 2-0 win at Norwich.

Neil Warnock’s side know three wins from their remaining four games will be enough but they had to dig deep to earn a vital three points at Carrow Road.

Kenneth Zohore squeezed the ball past Angus Gunn in the 86th minute before Junior Hoilett’s goal in added time sealed victory.

Veteran striker Steve Morison struck his fifth goal of the season for Millwall as they came back to draw 1-1 against fellow play-off hopefuls Sheffield United.

Leon Clarke opened the scoring for the Blades in the 74th minute, but Morison equalised instantly.

The sixth-placed Lions remain unbeaten in the league since New Year’s Day and Sheffield United, who are ninth, have not lost at home since late January.

Derby slipped out of the top six, but Burton moved off the bottom and to within five points of safety after a 3-1 victory at the Pirelli Stadium.

Liam Boyce tapped home from close range to put the hosts in front after 24 minutes, but David Nugent equalised moments later.

Luke Murphy curled a beautiful effort past Scott Carson to restore the Brewers’ lead and Lucas Akins added a third in the 68th minute.
