West Ham United are back at Wembley for the Championship Play Off final
West Ham United have taken a major step towards returning to the Premier League after they won the second leg of the Championship play-off 3-0 against Cardiff today.
Captain Kevin Nolan settled the nerves with an opening header from a corner. Ricardo Vaz Te made it 2-0 and Nicky Maynard making it 3-0 in the last minute,
Their 5-0 aggregate win gives them a chance to bounce back to the top flight after just one season in the Championship in the final at Wembley on May 19, against either Birmingham or Blackpool.
For a full report on how they did it, see our West Ham section in Sport.
