Cardiff City promoted to the English Premier League

Cardiff City will join fellow Welsh side, Swansea, in the EPL next season, after they got automatic promotion, following a goalless draw against Charlton Athletic.

The Bluebirds, who have won 25 times this season, needed at least one point to guarantee their promotion exactly 50 years after they featured in the top flight.

“I am lost for words right now. We thoroughly deserve that if I’m honest,” Cardiff defender Mark Hudson told BBC 5 Live Sport.

“The consistency we’ve had this year, top since November, and now we’re promoted. We’ll celebrate now then go for that title.”
