Nottingham Forest secured promotion back to the Championship on a dramatic final day of the season.
Forest's win, combined with Doncaster's defeat at Cheltenham, saw the Reds take the second automatic promotion spot.
Julian Bennett's powerful strike and a cool Kris Commons finish put Forest in charge but Marcus Stewart teed up Jaime Peters to make it 2-1 at the break.
Lewis McGugan's fine free-kick restored the two-goal lead and Forest held on despite Andy Kirk's header.
McGugan's stunning free-kick saw Forest stretch their lead to 3-1 and Wes Morgan almost added a fourth but his header was cleared off the line.
Yeovil responded once again and Marvin Williams went close before Kirk ensured a nervy last 15 minutes when he headed in following corner.
By this stage Forest fans were aware that Doncaster had levelled against Cheltenham at Whaddon Road.
But the Robins grabbed a late winner and Forest held on to seal their promotion and spark wild scenes of celebration as supporters filled the City Ground pitch on the final whistle.
