Two goals in a blistering first nine minutes from George Hirst and Jaden Philogene and a late effort from Kasey McAteer saw the Blues to a comfortable 3-0 victory over QPR at Portman Road and to the three points they needed to secure their return to the Premier League after just one season away. Hirst tapped in from close range in the third minute, before teeing-up Philogene on nine with the result and Town’s third promotion in four years never in any doubt from there with McAteer adding some gloss and settling any late nerves with five minutes remaining.  56
