Barnsley have ended their two year absence from the Sky Bet Championship following a 3-1 victory against Millwall in the League 1 play-off final this afternoon at Wembley.

Mark Beevers pulled one back for Millwall in the latter end of the first half, but a Lloyd Isgrove strike 15 minutes from time sealed Barnsley's place back in the Championship after being relegated in 2014.
