At London:
39-year-old Kevin Phillips converted a penalty kick in overtime (105'+1) for the game's only score as Crystal Palace defeated Watford 1-0 in Monday's English League Championship promotion playoff final at Wembley Stadium. The Eagles won promotion back to the English Premier League and will play in the top flight next season for the first time since 2005, joining Cardiff City and Hull City, who had already secured automatic promotion. At the other end of the League Championship standings, Peterborough United, Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Bristol City were relegated to League One and will be replaced by Doncaster Rovers, AFC Bournemouth, and Yeovil Town.
