NORWICH sealed the Championship title with a 4-1 win against Reading as rivals Watford fluffed their lines.

The Canaries only needed victory to ensure they would be getting their hands on the silverware – and they didn’t mess that one up.

Goals from Kieran Dowell, Teemu Pukki and two from Xavier Quintilla secured a comeback win after Josh Laurent had put Reading ahead.

But Watford were never looking likely to do their bit away at Brentford.

Marcus Forss gave the Bees the lead on 46 minutes, and a penalty from Ivan Toney on the hour mark sealed the victory.

Watford can be safe in the knowledge that they have already guaranteed promotion to the Premier League.

At the other end of the table, a win for Wycombe and a late draw for Rotherham means they have a fighting chance of survival.

Not a single relegation spot is sorted with it all going to the final day of the season.

Derby, who lost 2-1 away at Swansea, and Sheffield Wednesday are the other two teams in the mix.

In League One Peterborough are joining Hull in the Championship next season.
