Hull City have been promoted to the Premier League following a 2-2 with�Cardiff City at the KC Stadium.
The Tigers were second coming into the�final�day,�just a�point ahead of third-placed Watford,�and knew they needed to match or better the Hornets’ result against Leeds United to secure top-flight football.

Watford�lost�2-1 to Leeds, while Hull’s point came courtesy of goals from Nick Proschwitz and Paul McShane.
It was far from a straight-forward finish, though, with the Tigers being awarded a penalty when they were�leading 2-1 going into injury time. Proschwitz missed the spot-kick and then the Bluebirds got a penalty of their own at the death, which Nicky Maynard converted to leave all eyes and ears fixed on the action at Vicarage Road, where the score was 1-1 before Ross McCormack scored a late Leeds�winner.

Hull�lost their�top-flight status�in 2010 and have finished 11th and eighth in the last two Championship campaigns. The appointment of Steve Bruce as manager at the start of this season proved to be a wise choice, though, and he has guided them to a�first ever automatic promotion to the�Premier League, where they will join their final day opponents Cardiff.
