Soccer: Fulham secure place in top-flight

Fulham have won promotion to the Premiership following their 2-1 win at Huddersfield.

The First Division leaders, whose rise from the lower reaches of the Nationwide League has been financed by billionare Mohamed al-Fayed, will take their place in the top flight next season for the first time since 1968.

Top-scorer Louis Saha hit his 29th goal of the season from the penalty spot at the McAlpine Stadium only for Delroy Facey to give struggling Huddersfield a lifeline with the equaliser.

But Luis Boa Morte struck the winner with five minutes remaining to crown a wonderful first season in charge for manager Jean Tigana.
