PORTSMOUTH have been promoted to the Championship as League One champions following their 3-2 win over Barnsley on Tuesday evening.

John Mousinho's side had to come from behind to ensure they ended Portsmouth's 11-year absence from the second tier of English football.

They have been crowned League One champions with two games to go by virtue of sitting eight points clear of Derby.

Pompey could be in the same division as Saints next season for the first time since 2011-12 should Russell Martin's charges fail to get promoted.

Southampton's automatic promotion hopes were given a boost on Tuesday by a rampant 3-0 win over Preston North End.

The results extended their winning streak to three games and put them four points off second-place Leicester. who they face next week.
