Joy for Irish quartet as Blades seal promotion: How the Irish fared

John Egan, Enda Stevens, David McGoldrick, and possibly Scott Hogan will be plying their trade in the Premier League next season after Sheffield United secured promotion to the Premier League this weekend.

Hogan, on loan from Aston Villa until the end of the season, put the Blades in front with a deft finish in Saturday’s Championship clash with relegated Ipswich before a second half goal wrapped up a 2-0 win to leave the Bramall Lane outfit six points clear of third-placed Leeds and with a vastly superior goal-difference to boot.
