Birmingham City have this evening confirmed their immediate promotion back to the Sky Bet Championship.

The Blues needed a win to be the first EFL side to confirm their promotion in the 24/25 season and overcame Peterborough United, the side they'll face in the Vertu Trophy Final this weekend, by two goals to one.

Goals from Alfie May and Taylor Gardner-Hickman cancelled out Kwame Poku's fierce strike for Peterborough to take Chris Davies' side to promotion in his first season as manager.
