REUTERS Leeds United edged out Burnley to win the second-tier Championship title on goal difference after both teams finished the season with 100 points as Luton Town suffered a second straight relegation on Saturday. On a frantic final day, Leeds found themselves trailing Plymouth Argyle early in the game through a Sam Byram own goal but Wilfried Gnonto levelled eight minutes into the second half. With Burnley leading Milwall, Leeds desperately needed a winner and it was Tottenham Hotpsur loanee Manor Solomon who popped up with a goal in added time to give Leeds a 2-1 victory that also relegated Plymouth. Burnley beat Milwall 3-1 but lost out on the title due to Leeds' superior goal difference. Both Leeds and Burnley had sealed promotion to the Premier League last month with a guaranteed top-two finish. Sheffield United finished third with 90 points after a 1-1 draw with Blackburn Rovers, who ended seventh and missed out on the last playoff spot by two points. In the playoffs, Sheffield United will take on Bristol City, who finished sixth with 68 points while fourth-placed Sunderland (76 points) take on Frank Lampard's Coventry City (fifth with 69 points). The two-legged playoffs will be held between May 8-13 and the final is on May 24. At the bottom of the table, Luton became only the fourth club in history to suffer back-to-back relegations from the Premier League. They were playing in the top flight only a year ago but will start next season in League One. Luton will be joined in the third tier by Cardiff City, who finished bottom after a 4-2 defeat by Norwich City. Norwich and Cardiff were being managed by former Arsenal team mates Jack Wilshere and Aaron Ramsey after both took interim charge of their respective clubs last month.

REUTERS WREXHAM, Wales - Wrexham earned promotion for a record third straight season with a 3-0 home win over Charlton Athletic in League One on Saturday, the latest chapter in a stunning rise under the ownership of Hollywood A-listers Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Sam Smith struck twice after Ollie Rathbone opened the scoring to send the Red Dragons up to the Championship (second tier) next season in front of a jubilant Racecourse Ground crowd that included Canada's Reynolds and American McElhenney. They are the first team ever to enjoy three successive promotions in the top five tiers of English football. Phil Parkinson's side clinched second place with 89 points and one game remaining. Birmingham City, who top the League One table with 102 points, had already sealed promotion. Wrexham dominated from the start and Rathbone put them ahead in the 15th minute when James McClean worked a short corner to the midfielder, who fired home from the edge of the box. The home fans were still celebrating when Smith doubled the lead with a spectacular strike three minutes later. Matty James chipped a long pass over Charlton's back line that Smith volleyed in with his left foot. Smith completed his brace in the 81st when he latched onto Max Cleworth's cross and fired just over the head of goalkeeper Will Mannion.
