All three Championship relegation teams confirmed! Reading is finally heading to League One

In the 44th round of the Championship, thanks to the only goal of the game by Danny Ward, Huddersfield Town defeated the league's runners-up Sheffield United 1-0 at home. After securing a crucial three points, Huddersfield ensured survival one round in advance, while Reading became the third team relegated from the Championship this season.

Neil Warnock, the 74-year-old coach, only took over Huddersfield in February of this year. Before his appointment, the team had only garnered 29 points after 32 rounds, ranking second last in the league. After Warnock took over, Huddersfield achieved 6 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses in 14 rounds, earning 22 points. During the same period, only Burnley, Luton, Coventry, and Sheffield United gained more points.


Originally, Huddersfield was only 3 points ahead of Reading in the relegation zone, with only a 2-goal difference. Moreover, the two sides were to face each other in the final round. If they had lost to Sheffield United at home this round, Huddersfield would have had to play a survival battle with Reading in the last round. However, now Huddersfield can breathe a sigh of relief, as they have secured 3 points and completed their survival task in advance. Undoubtedly, "firefighting coach" Warnock is the main contributor to Huddersfield's survival, with the team paying tribute to the 74-year-old coach after the match.


All three Championship relegation teams have been confirmed. After Wigan Athletic and Blackpool, Reading became the third team confirmed for relegation this season. Since their relegation from the Premier League after the 2012/13 season, Reading has spent 10 years in the Championship, and now they are finally heading to League One."
