Nottingham Forest players celebrate the thing that took them back to Premier League 

 Nottingham Forest settled creation to the Premier League for the first time in 23 times with a 1- 0 palm against Huddersfield in the Championship play- off final on Sunday. Levi Colwill's own thing late in the first half at Wembley was enough for Steve Cooper's side to hit the jackpot in the most economic single match in world football. Promotion to the top- flight is estimated to be worth at least£ 170 million($ 214 million) in increased profit. 

 Timber will gratefully accept the huge fiscal benediction, but it was the relief at ending their long exile from English football's nobility that prodded the frenzied scenes of festivity among their thousands of red and white- clad suckers. 

 For the first time in the 21st century, Timber can look forward to drinking the Premier League's elite to their City Ground colosseum on the banks of the River Trent. 

 The creation was a particular triumph for Cooper, who has revitalised Forest since replacing the sacked Chris Hughton in September 

 Timber were bottom of the table after taking one point from their first seven games, but Cooper had the midas touch as he canceled the bitter taste of his defeat with Swansea in last time's Championship play- off final against Brentford. 

 Cooper repaired the injuries of Forest's worst launch to a season for 108 times and assured they remained focus after losing a shot at automatic creation in their penultimate game of the season against top- two rivals Bournemouth. 

 Fourth placed Timber beat Sheffield United on penalties in the play- offsemi-final and held their whim-whams again to earn the ultimate prize against Huddersfield.

 Timber's golden period came under fabulous master Brian Clough, who led them to the English title in 1978 and won the European Cup in 1979 and 1980. 

 Clough's withdrawal in 1993 started a steep decline in Forest's fortunes, with their nature times featuring a three- season spell in the third league. 

 Timber had been regular callers to Wembley during Clough's florescence but this was their first appearance at the public colosseum since 1992. 

 No wonder the Forest sympathizers in the crowd were in fine voice from the moment Ryan Yates headed James Garner's free- kick wastefully wide from six yards. 

 Timber were the better side in a frantic hassle, but there was further perspiration than alleviation for long ages as passes went amiss from both brigades. 

 Huddersfield plodded to find any meter, with Sorba Thomas'cross-shot pushed down by Timber keeper Brice Samba. 

 Driven forward by on- loan Manchester United midfielder Garner, Forest broke the impasse in the 43rd nanosecond. 

 Garner whipped a dangerous inswinging cross into the Huddersfield area and Colwill inadvertently veered it into his own net as the on- loan Chelsea protector tried to get to the ball before Yates. 

 Rocked by that blow, Huddersfield eventually raised their tempo after half- time and Jonathan Hogg should have done better with a title that failed to hit the target from a corner. 

 The decisive moment came in the 73rd nanosecond when Huddersfield were left fuming after being denied a strong penalty claim. 

 Harry Toffolo went down under a challenge from Jack Colback but adjudicator Jon Moss reserved the Huddersfield sect- reverse for diving and VAR refused to capsize the decision. 

 Huddersfield's frustration increased when another penalty appeal was rejected after Max Lowe whisked into LewisO'Brien. 

 Timber's jitters rasped when Samba limped off injured in the final twinkles, but the Reds held on to earn their return to the big time.
