Post-match[edit]

Thomas Frank became the first Danish head coach to achieve promotion to the Premier League. He remarked "I'm completely empty right now. I don't know if I can describe it. It's been such a long journey ... Somebody said to me that we need two hands and 10 fingers to lift the trophy and we have done it on our 10th attempt." Brentford defender Jansson said "It's been a hard year but we're finally there ... I could go home to Sweden and retire now as this is what I have dreamed of. I won't though!" Losing head coach Steve Cooper was disappointed in his side's performance, noting "We started the game second best and some defining moments didn't go our way. We gave ourselves a really tough job going 2–0 down."[2]
