Nathan Redmond – Norwich.

Norwich City were promoted to the Premier League with a 2-0 win over Middlesbrough in the Championship play-off final at Wembley yesterday to secure a £120 million bonanza from the richest game in world soccer.

Cameron Jerome put Norwich ahead in the 12th minute before Nathan Redmond stunned Boro with a second three minutes later to see the Canaries back in the top flight after one season.

The Canaries, who finished the regular season in third place behind Bournemouth and Watford, beat local rivals Ipswich 4-2 on aggregate in their playoff semi-final to reach the Wembley final.

They can now look forward to receiving at least £120 million in revenue from prize money, TV rights and sponsorship.

Norwich skipper Russell Martin told Sky Sports: “It’s emotional after last year, which was so hard to take. Middlesborugh did brilliantly this season but we put in probably our best performance of the season.”

Norwich almost opened the scoring after nine minutes when Bradley Johnson’s sweet left-foot shot from 20 metres hit the bar after Jerome missed the ball with his head.

Middlesbrough immediately broke down the other end and Jelle Vossen struck the angle of bar and post with a fine effort with the outside of his right foot from 25 metres.

But it was Norwich who took the lead when Jerome tucked the ball past goalkeeper Dimitrios Konstantopoulos from close range.

Midfielder Redmond added Norwich’s second with a low right-foot strike into the far corner.

Middlesbrough looked more dangerous after the break and began to pose some problems for Norwich with Patrick Bamfordat last testing goalkeeper John Ruddy.

Norwich should have scored again when Martin headed over from a corner and although Boro applied some pressure late on they never looked like salvaging anything from the match.
