Cardiff City will play in English soccer’s top division for the first time in 51 years next season after securing promotion to the Premier League with a 0-0 home draw against Charlton.
Last night’s result lifted the Welsh club to 84 points atop the Championship, a tally that guarantees one of the two automatic promotion places. Second-place Hull City has 77 points after a 1-0 loss at Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Watford in third remains on 71 points following a 1-0 defeat to Millwall.
