Watford will feature in the Barclays Premier League next season after securing promotion Saturday.

The club clinched top spot in the Championship following their 2-0 victory over Brighton and a pair of poor results from Norwich and Middlesbrough, who are also in a battle to gain promotion to England's top flight.

Troy Deeney and Matej Vydra were the heroes, as their goals ensured the club would finish the day with 88 points. 

Watford, however, had to reserve their celebration and wait until the conclusion of Norwich and Middlesbrough's matches.

Norwich went on to record a disappointing draw with Rotherham United, while Middlesbrough lost their match in devastating fashion after Ross McCormack scored during injury time to lift Fulham to a 4-3 victory.

Watford players proceeded to lose their minds while they waited for the final results on the team bus.

It's the team's first time in the top flight since the 2006-07 season, and just their second ever promotion to the Premier League.
