Championship playoff final: Super Eagles-eligible trio help Luton Town win 'richest game in football' 

Super Eagles-eligible trio of Elijah Adebayo, Gabriel Osho and Fred Onyedinma have helped Luton Town gain promotion to the Premier League for the first time in their history.

Adebayo and Osho started for the Bedfordshire-based side, while Onyedinma entered the game as a substitute in the 84th minute. 

The Championship playoff final is often dubbed 'the richest game in football' with the winner receiving a guaranteed £120million lift for participating in the Premier League. 

Luton Town secured a place in the Premier League for next season on Saturday evening when they defeated Coventry City 6-5 on penalties.

Adebayo and Osho played vital roles for the Hatters en route to their promotion to the Premier League.

Adebayo scored Luton Town's only goal in their 2-1 loss to Sunderland in the first leg of the semifinals of Championship playoffs and assisted their only goal against Coventry City in the final.

The 25-year-old played 42 games in the regular Championship season, scoring 7 goals and assisting three times.

Osho on the other hand scored Luton's first goal in their 2-0 win over Sunderland in the second leg of the semifinals of the playoffs.

He also featured 27 times in the Championship and bagged two goals.

Onyedinma played 17 games during the Championship season and assisted twice for the newly promoted Premier League team.

The trio will be hoping they are in the plans of manager, Rob Edwards as they start their campaign in the English top-flight next season.
