Ipswich Town Football Club has made history by securing a spot in the Premier League after a remarkable 2-0 victory against Huddersfield, according to The Mirror.

Under the leadership of manager Kieran McKenna, Ipswich Town has achieved what many deemed impossible: back-to-back promotions from League One to the Premier League.

This achievement puts them in the elite company of clubs like Southampton, who last accomplished this feat in 2012.

The decisive moment came in the 27th minute when Wes Burns found the back of the net.

From that point on, Ipswich dominated the game, with Omari Hutchinson extending their lead shortly after halftime.

The final whistle set off scenes of jubilation as fans flooded the pitch to celebrate their team's success.

Meanwhile, Leeds United's hopes for automatic promotion were dashed after a 2-1 defeat to Southampton.

Despite an impressive season tallying 90 points, Daniel Farke's squad will now have to fight for promotion through the playoffs, facing off against Norwich in the semi-finals.

Southampton, on the other hand, will take on West Brom in their quest for Premier League promotion. The day also spelled doom for Huddersfield, whose relegation was confirmed following Ipswich's victory.

Rotherham, already relegated last month, will join them in League One, along with Birmingham, despite their last-ditch effort with a 1-0 win over Norwich.
