The decisive goal came in the 43rd minute when Huddersfield defender Levi Colwill deflected a James Garner shot into his own net.

Former European champions Forest were relegated from the top flight in 1999 and they join Bournemouth and Fulham, who won automatic promotion to the Premier League. Steve Cooper's side were deserved winners having dominated the first half and then held on to their lead without Huddersfield truly threatening their goal."We've been fantastic all season - we were really unlucky to not go up automatically.
