Sheffield United is 90 minutes from a return to the Premier League after beating Bristol City in the championship qualifiers.
The side of Chris Wilder will face Coventry or Sunderland in Wembley on May 24 after a 3-0 victory at Bramall Lane sealed a global victory of 6-0.
The giant striker Kieffer Moore beat a Max O’Leary beating in an Inswing corner to nod his head in the first match and settle the nerves before half-time.
Another corner, another goal and Sheffield United are on the right track for a record-off record score! ✨ pic.twitter.com/setsjpusf8

Gustavo Hamer – A course above at night – did it start the 52nd minute with a deflected shot in a smart worm.
And Callum O’Hare repeated its first leg to mark the bench with a late clinical third to ensure the greatest overall victory of the playoffs at the level of the championship.
The Blades won the first leg at Bristol 3-0 Thursday evening, but it was City who had the best of the first half before the goal, with Scott Twine picking up space and their fluid midfielder leading the ball.
But the first objective was always going to be crucial at the night and the Moore vacated head deflated the fans outside behind the goal.
Twine had a free kick well saved after the break, but United was still in control, their in -depth force underlined with a triple change that saw O’Hare, Rhian Brewster and Tyrese Campbell all.

United finished the regular season on 90 points, 22 above the city and the Gulf finally told the end – but the blades were never promoted via the qualifiers in nine previous attempts.
The Robins have been without season in the elite since 1980, but will once again be a force next season.
The defender of Manchester United and former blade captain Harry Maguire was looking in the stands and hopes to come up against his former team in the elite once again next season.
Wilder has already been promoted with United twice. Can he do three in Wembley?
