They've done it!! Yeovil promoted to the Championship

Yeovil Town have been promoted to the Championship after beating Brentford 2-1 at Wembley.

Paddy Madden and Dan Burn scored the Glovers' goals in the first half, and although the Bees pulled a goal back early in the second half, Gary Johnson's men held on for a deserved win.

Yeovil have never played in the Championship before. It's a remarkable rise for the Somerset club. They were only promoted into the Football League in 2003 after 108 years as a non-league side.

All the post-match reaction from Wembley to follow shortly.
