LONDON (Reuters) - English Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers became the season's first team promoted to the Premier League on Saturday with a 1-0 win over Queens Park Rangers.

Manager Mick McCarthy's side were last in the top flight in 2004 after a 19 year absence but were relegated after just one season.

Charlton Athletic's 2-2 draw with Blackpool saw them relegated to League One (third division), just two seasons after being relegated from the Premier League.
