Review:
Huddersfield won the league title with this result, by the closest margin in the history of the league!
Second place Cardiff drew 0-0 away (and missed a penalty) at Birmingham meaning that this 3-0 win for Huddersfield gave them the title on the last day of the season by a goal average margin of just 0.024
