West Brom earn promotion

London -West Bromwich Albion were promoted to the English Premier League after beating Doncaster 3-2 in the Championship on Saturday.

Roberto Di Matteo's side -- relegated from the top flight last season -- will make a quick return after moving 11 points clear of third placed Nottingham Forest with only three matches left for both teams.

The Baggies took the lead at the Keepmoat Stadium in the 31st minute when Graham Dorrans fired a free-kick past Doncaster goalkeeper Neil Sullivan.

Chris Brunt seized on a poor defensive header to double Albion's advantage in first-half injury time.

Jay Emmanuel-Thomas got one back for Doncaster in the 47th minute before Roman Bednar's 73rd minute strike reestablished West Brom's two-goal lead.

James Hayter struck for Doncaster in the 85th minute to set up a nervous finale for Albion, but the visitors held on to spark wild celebrations as their fans spilled onto the pitch to party with the players.

Championship leaders Newcastle, who were also relegated from the Premier League last season, have already made sure of their return to the top flight.
