Sunderland seal 'impossible' promotion
Bangkok Post
|May 26, 2025
Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris claimed his side’s promotion to the Premier League was “impossible to predict” as they clinched a dramatic 2-1 win against Sheffield United in the Championship playoff final.
-
In his first season in charge, Le Bris revitalised a team that finished 16th last term and led them back to the top-flight after an eight-year absence.
Sunderland’s promotion was sealed in the most remarkable fashion as Tommy Watson struck in the fifth minute of stoppage-time in the 19-year-old’s final appearance before joining Brighton in the close-season.
The Black Cats had trailed to Tyrese Campbell's first-half goal at Wembley on Saturday.
But Eliezer Mayenda equalised with 14 minutes left before Watson bagged the priceless winner.
It was an astonishing twist to the single richest match in world football as Sunderland hit the jackpot with a promotion worth an estimated £200 million (US$270 million) in increased revenue.
