Dons earn promotion
A superb strike by Myles Hippolyte was enough to secure Wembley victory for Wimbledon – and a fully deserved promotion to League One.
Hippolyte’s cracker in first-half injury time was a fitting way to secure glory at the famous venue and Wimbledon are back in the third tier of English football for the first time since 2022.
Johnnie Jackson’s men were simply the better team on the day, excellent in all departments, and promotion rewarded all the hard work put in by management, players, and staff in the last nine months.
Of course, the Dons’ fantastic supporters played their part once again, singing their hearts out for the lads – 28,500 of them packing into Wembley.
Premier League final day
The final day of this Premier League campaign 2024/25 is behind us. Now the positions in the table cannot be reversed anymore and West Ham rank fourteenth after a final day 3-1 away win over already relegated Ipswich Town.
Once again Jarrod Bowen was West Ham’s best player. He finishes the season on 13 goals and eight assists, an impressive tally considering West Ham’s poor season.
In the end the Hammers have finished better than Manchester Utd and Tottenham which seems to be the most positive to say after a really disappointing season for West Ham.
BBC pundit Gary Lineker finally said goodbye to “Match of the Day” on Sunday and apologised to all fans that their team “always came last”…
Here’s the final table of 2024/25:
Aston Villa lost 0-2 to Manchester Utd on the final day and therefore was beaten by Newcastle on goal difference in the race for the Champions League. The Villans and FA Cup winner Crystal Palace will play in the Europa League.
Nottingham Forest was beaten 0-1 at home by Chelsea which now will play in the Champions League, whereas Forest will compete in the Conference League next season. League Cup winners Newcastle Utd would have qualified for the Conference League if they hadn’t secured a spot in the Champions League.
Despite their dismal league position also Spurs will play Champions League football following their 1-0 win over Manchester Utd in the final of the Europa League in Bilbao last week.
