Villa’s players are understandably crestfallen, with many of their supporters heading for the exits too. TV pictures showed John Terry looking a bit emotional. Steve Bruce spent a long time on the edge of his dugout wondering where it all went wrong.

Fulham's teenage sensation Ryan Sessegnon tells Sky Sports:

"It's been a fantastic season for me and the team. To top it off with promotion, there's nothing better."

Denis Odoi will be the most relieved man in Wembley, after his sending off left Fulham up against it for the final 20 minutes.

The relief was palpable at full-time as the Whites players zoomed towards their fans, with keeper Marcus Bettinelli doing half a lap in front of the stand. There was a black smoke bomb thrown as the players had a celebratory bundle.

They only had 10 men for the final 20 minutes or so, but they're up.

Fulham hoist the trophy aloft in front of around 35,000 or more jubilant Whites fans.

Fulham captain and goal scorer Tom Cairney tells Sky Sports:

"After we missed out on promotion last season, a lot of people wrote us off. We got a lot of stick. But football won today. Football won.

"I've been playing the whole season not fully fit. My knee still hurts now.

"But my manager said he needed me so I just played. I'll need the summer to rest and get fit."

Villa centre-back John Terry is consoling a devastated-looking Jack Grealish on the field. It's not been their day.

Now Fulham will go up the steps to collect the trophy.

The tension was unbearable with 30 seconds to go, right with that decent penalty shout right at the end as Jack Grealish went down.

Fulham, though, are returning to the Premier League - their backroom staff spill onto the pitch and the fans are going crazy.

There will be Premier League football at Craven Cottage. Fulham don't have any recognised stars - although Ryan Sessegnon is getting all the press attention - but team effort has got them through this.

Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic tells Sky Sports:

"It's a dream come true. We've brought the club back to where it should be.

"Every Fulham fan today needs to be very proud of this club. It's an unbelievable day."

Aston Villa fan Phil

"I’m shocked. That is a huge blow to Aston Villa. The fans here are stunned.

"It's a very disappointing result and performance. It’s going to be a long summer and another long season in the Championship.

“Time for the long journey home now."

Tom Cairney's first-half goal has sent Fulham back to the top flight for the first time since their 2014 relegation.

The Fulham squad rush to celebrate with an overjoyed Slavisa Jokanovic.

The Villa players sink to their knees in despair.

That's it! Fulham are back in the Premier League!

Ryan Sessegnon wins Fulham a free-kick in Villa's half, on the left flank, and you wonder if Villa will get the ball back before the whistle goes.

Fulham fan Ben

"I haven't been able to watch the last 15 minutes. It feels like the longest period in my lifetime.

"I don't think my heart can take it."

Fulham have the ball deep in the Villa half now and their fans can sense how close they are...

You have to say, overall, Fulham have deserved this. Certainly when it was 11 v 11 they had the majority of the best chances and have certainly negated Villa since the sending off.

Villa's fans scream for a penalty as Jack Grealish goes down in the area as he tries to skip past Matt Targett, but there doesn't seem to be too much in that.

Albert Adomah's deep cross from the left for Villa is headed wide by Scott Hogan.

I'd say he should have hit the target from there. He'll be disappointed.

As we enter the final minute of normal time, Fulham win a timely free-kick in Villa's half as Matt Targett is fouled.

There'll be at least five additional minutes. FIVE minutes folks.

Villa have a free-kick around 20 yards from goal in a very dangerous position after Aleksandar Mitrovic tackles Jack Grealish from behind.
