Newcastle United have secured English football's second tier title with a 2-nil win at Plymouth Argyle.
First-half goals from Andy Carroll and Wayne Routledge sealed the Championship title after Chris Hughton's side made sure of promotion back to the Premier League following a year away with a 2-1 win over Sheffield United two weeks ago.
Hughton, who was given the job on a permanent basis after a temporary stint as caretaker boss, saw his side move onto 98 points from 44 games -- nine clear of second-placed West Bromwich Albion, who will join the Magpies in the Premier League next season.
Defeat for Plymouth, meanwhile, condemned them to relegation to the third-tier, known as League One.
