West Bromwich footballers became the second direct to the English Premier League. In the final 46th round of the second league, coach Slaven Bilič’s charges were able to draw a 2: 2 draw with Queens Park Rangers to the final second place behind Leeds. The WBA returns to the elite after a two-year absence.
Brentford missed the chance to advance in the dramatic final day, unexpectedly losing 1: 2 Barnsley at home. If he won, for the first time since 1947, he would have gone to the top competition. Brentford will have another chance in the playoffs, where Fulham, Cardiff and Swansea also got.
Czech midfielder Jiří Skalák scored the first competition goal of the season for Millwall and helped to win the home win 4: 1 over Huddersfield. Skalák came on the field in the 61st minute and in three minutes he registered among the shooters. Millwall finished eighth, two points behind Swansea sixth.
The winner of the second league, Leeds, ended the season with an overwhelming 4-0 win over descending Charlton. Wigan and Hull also fall next to him.
