GThe Digest:
Frank Lampard's Coventry City have secured promotion to the Premier League after a 1-1 draw with Blackburn ended their 25-year absence from English football's top flight. Bobby Thomas headed the equaliser in the 84th minute after Coventry trailed to a deflected strike. The Sky Blues have led the Championship table for much of the season and wrapped up automatic promotion with three games to spare. They can now target the Championship title.
Key Points:

- Lampard revived his managerial career after sackings at Chelsea and Everton.
- Coventry lost the 2023 Championship play-off final before Robins' dismissal.
