Newcastle United have been promoted to the English Premier League.

Rafael Benitez steered Newcastle United straight back up to the Premier League with a 4-1 win over Preston on Monday.

They will join Brighton who were assured of promotion to the Premier League for the first time last Monday in the top tier next season.

Ghanaian forward Christian Atsu put the Newcastle 2-1 up at half-time after Jordan Hugill had cancelled out an Ayoze Perez opener.
