Sunderland Promoted To Premier League With Dramatic Late Win
Premier League: Sunderland pulled off a stunning comeback to defeat Sheffield United 2-1 in the Championship playoff final, with substitute Tom Watson netting a dramatic stoppage-time winner at Wembley on Saturday to secure their return to the Premier League.
The 19-year-old winger fired a superb low shot from outside the box, sealing Sunderland’s promotion after eight seasons away from the top flight—a period that included time in League One. The victory, widely considered the most lucrative in football, is set to earn the club an estimated £220 million thanks to the Premier League’s massive TV deals.
But for the jubilant Sunderland fans, the financial rewards were a distant thought as Watson’s goal triggered wild celebrations. It was a heartbreaking end for Sheffield United, who had finished 14 points ahead of Sunderland in the regular season and dominated large portions of the final.
