Leeds United sealed their automatic promotion to the Championship on a day of extreme drama at Elland Road.
A 2-1 victory over Bristol Rovers secured second place in League One and guaranteed United's return to the second tier for the first time since their relegation in 2007.
United's bid for automatic promotion hung by a thread after Darryl Duffy opened the scoring for Bristol Rovers early in the second half, but replies from Jonathan Howson and Jermaine Beckford in the space of three minutes brought salvation to Leeds
United dominated the first half without seriously threatening to score and it was memorable for an unseemly incident in the 33rd minute which led to the dismissal of Leeds winger Max Grade
