Watched by their owners, including majority shareholder Peter Lim, Salford went ahead through Emmanuel Dieseruvwe before Carl Piergianni and Ibou Touray scored to secure a fourth promotion for the club in five years.

"It was only a dream when we first started, so to have done it is an incredible feeling," Piergianni told BT Sport. "It's an incredible feeling to play here at Wembley and to win like that -- there's no better feeling."
