The club was promoted to the

top flight after defeating Hamza Chowdhury's Sheffield United 2-1 in the Championship play-off final.

Sunderland's comebackSheffield United took the lead in the 25th minute of the first half at Wembley through Tyrese Campbell, but Sunderland equalised in the 76th minute through Eliezer Mayenda.

And in added time, Tommy Watson's amazing goal secured the victory and secured the team's place in the Premier League.

Sunderland returned to the Premier

League for the first time since 2017. Such a comeback was like a fairy tale after four seasons in the third tier and five consecutive defeats before the play-offs in recent times.

They reached the final with a 3-2 aggregate win over Coventry City in the semi-finals thanks to an extra-time goal from Dan Ballard.

Even in the final, Le Brie's team trailed with 14 minutes remaining, but made a remarkable comeback with goals from Maenda and later Watson.

For Sheffield United, led by Bangladesh

midfielder Hamza Chowdhury, on loan from Leicester City, it was a disappointing end to a 100-year-long winless run at Wembley. It was their fourth defeat in a play-off final. They finished third in the regular season but lost to Sunderland in the final, ending their Premier League hopes.

Leicester were previously relegated

from the Premier League. As a result, even if Hamza returns to Leicester at the end of the season, he will not have the opportunity to play in the Premier League. They have also been relegated to the Championship.
