Paul Lambert’s Norwich City returned to the Premiership tonight thanks to a 1-0 win away to Portsmouth.
Simeon Jackson’s goal in the 50th minute was enough to earn all three points and ensure second place behind QPR.
Going into the match Norwich were given a massive boost when rivals Cardiff lost 3-0 at home to Middlesbrough with Barry Robson scoring the second goal.
That left Norwich knowing that a win at Portsmouth or at home to Coventry in their final match would guarantee promotion.
After a goal-less first half Jackson’s goal in front of 3,000 travelling fans earned Norwich all three points and a £80m windfall from television money.
Lambert took over from Bryan Gunn as Norwich boss in September 2009 after inflicting a 7-1 win over the Canaries on the opening day of the 2009/10 season whilst in charge of Colchester United.
