Sunderland secures promotion to the English Premier League after an exciting victory over Sheffield United.

Sunderland made a remarkable comeback to defeat Sheffield United 2-1 in the Championship playoff final, with substitute Tom Watson securing the winning goal in stoppage time at Wembley Stadium today, Saturday. The victory in this widely regarded as the most expensive match in football worldwide means Sunderland will benefit from additional revenues of up to £220 million ($297.79 million) thanks to lucrative Premier League TV rights deals. For Sheffield, this was a major disappointment as they dominated most of the match against a team that finished the Championship season 14 points ahead of them before the promotion playoffs. It's worth noting that this was Watson's final contribution at the age of 19 for his childhood club before moving to Brighton & Hove Albion, but it was a farewell gift. The player said: "It's unbelievable, we'll meet in the Premier League next season." He added: "I've been thinking about it for weeks, and this story was written when I stepped onto the field." It seemed like a distant bridge for Sunderland as they fell behind to a stunning counterattack goal by Tyrese Campbell in the first half dominated by United. Sunderland looked more dangerous in the second half without showing any ability to score, but ignited their fans' enthusiasm when Aiden McGeady equalized in the 76th minute.
