LONDON (Reuters) - AFC Bournemouth's fairytale season received its fitting happy ending as they celebrated their ascent to the Premier League for the first time in their 116-year history by winning the Championship title on Saturday.

Watford, also already guaranteed promotion to the top flight, were dramatically deprived of taking the crown in the second tier of the English game when Sheffield Wednesday earned a 1-1 draw at the Hornets' Vicarage Road home in stoppage time.
