Sunderland return to Premier League after win over Sheffield United

Sunderland have been promoted back to the Premier League following a dramatic 2-1 comeback win over Sheffield United.

Tyrese Campbell opened the scoring for the Blades in the 25th minute with a composed chip after a swift counter-attack.

Sunderland equalised when Eliezer Mayenda fired into the roof of the net in the 76th minute to set up a tense finish.

Tom Watson then emerged as the hero at Wembley, scoring with a low finish in the fifth minute of second-half stoppage time.

It proved to be the perfect send-off for the 19-year-old winger, who is set to link up with Brighton in the summer.

This marks Sunderland’s return to the Premier League after an eight-year absence, following their relegation at the end of the 2016/17 season.

Sunderland now join Leeds United and Burnley as the promoted sides.
