Which promoted club finished third in the 1994-95 Premier League?

Nottingham Forest finished third in the 1994–95 Premier League after returning to the top flight as a promoted club.

Forest had won promotion from the First Division in 1993–94 under manager Frank Clark, making their immediate success in the Premier League especially notable. They finished behind champions Blackburn Rovers and runners-up Manchester United, earning qualification for the UEFA Cup.

The other promoted clubs were Crystal Palace and Leicester City, which makes this question easy to confuse: all three had come up, but only Forest reached the top three. Forest collected 77 points from 42 matches, a remarkable return in the final Premier League season played with 22 clubs.

The campaign also stands out because Forest became the first newly promoted Premier League side to finish third. Their leading scorer was Stan Collymore, while players such as Stuart Pearce and Steve Stone helped make the club one of the season’s surprise packages.
