CARDIFF sealed promotion to the Premier League as Burton and Barnsley slipped out of the Championship on a dramatic final day.

The Welsh side were forced to settle for a goalless home draw against struggling Reading — but Fulham’s 3-1 loss at Birmingham meant Neil Warnock’s men could celebrate a return to the top flight after a three-year exile.

Birmingham took control with first-half goals from Lukas Jutkiewicz and Harlee Dean.
