West Ham United today beat Preston North End in the Championship Play-Off Final to take them into the Premiership. A single goal from Bobby Zamora in the 53rd minute was enough to secure victory for The Hammers.
Sheffield Wednesday beat unfancied Hartlepool United yesterday to clinch the final promotion place into the Championship. Wednesday were 2-1 down with just 8 minutes to play, when Westwood (Hartlepool) was sent off for a professional foul. The resulting penalty was scored by Steven MacLean. Wednesday struck again 3 minutes into Extra Time, and secured the victory at the death to win the Final 4-2.
Southend will join Swansea, Yeovil and Scunthorpe in League 1 after beating Lincoln 2-0 in the League 2 Play-Off Final, both goals coming in Extra Time after the two teams played out a stalemate during normal time. Eastwood scored for the Shrimpers during the first half of Extra Time, with defender Jupp adding to the goal tally in the second half to secure a memorable play-off win for Southend United.
