Sunderland fought back to win against Sheffield United with a score of 2-1 in the Championship playoff final on Saturday.
The Black Cats started the match poorly, with Chris Wilder’s team dominating at Wembley.
Sheffield took the lead after a fantastic counter-attack, finished off by Tyrese Campbell.
In the second half, Sunderland really took control of the match.
Eliezer Mayenda, who played brilliantly, equalised with a superb goal. Then, in stoppage time, the departing Tom Watson secured the victory.
Sunderland will now be back in the Premier League, for the first time since 2017.
