Paul Lambert's Norwich earn Premiership promotion

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 50^th 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.
