Exeter’s Jack Bycroft levels against Stockport to lift Cardiff
Bromley promoted from League Two after Notts County lose
Cardiff are celebrating an instant return to the Championship after results in the League One promotion race favoured the Welsh club, while Bromley have been promoted from League Two without playing.
After Bradford and Bolton were held to draws in Saturday’s early games, Cardiff needed more points from their game at Reading than Stockport could manage at Exeter. Cardiff did their part, winning 3-1, but Stockport were leading 3-2 in added time at St James Park. However, Jack Bycroft, the Exeter goalkeeper, went up for a corner and headed home in the sixth minute of added time.
Exeter’s manager, Matt Taylor, hailed Bycroft’s dramatic intervention, saying: “He committed to it, committed to the run and had the belief that the ball might be there and the moment it was, he committed to the header – and it was an excellent header as well.”
