Sheffield Utd - Sunderland 1:2

Sunderland are heading back to the Premier League after a dramatic 2–1 victory over Sheffield United in the Championship Play-Off Final at Wembley Stadium. The "Black Cats" secured the final promotion spot in stunning fashion thanks to a stoppage-time winner.

Sheffield United struck first through Campbell in the opening half, putting Paul Heckingbottom’s side in control. But Dossou levelled the score in the 76th minute, setting up a nervy finale in front of a packed Wembley crowd.

Then, in dramatic fashion, Watson emerged as Sunderland’s hero, netting the decisive goal in added time to complete an emotional comeback and seal the club’s long-awaited return to England’s top flight.
