This is the third time the Blades have been promoted to the Premier League, with all coming via second-placed league finishes.Norway international Sander Berge gave the home side the lead after the break when he was teed up by Iliman Ndiaye following an awfully under-hit backpass from Taylor Gardner-Hickman.
The Blades, who went into the game needing just three points from four games to secure promotion, had been sluggish up until then but overwhelmed the away side from thereon and Anel Ahmedhodzic scored with a controlled close range volley to seal victory with just under 15 minutes to play. Paul Heckingbottom's side will join title winners Burnley in the top flight next season.
