Sampdoria return to Serie A

Having won the first leg 3-2 at home, Sampdoria had to hold their nerve at the Lombardian club before Pozzi struck in the 91st minute.

With 10,000 fans watching the game back in Genoa on a big screen in the city's Piazzale Kennedy, Samp won promotion after spending a single season in the second division.

The Blucerchiati join Torino and Pescara as the three promoted teams from Serie B, replacing relegated Lecce, Novara and Cesena.
