Tyrese Campbell had given the Blades the lead in the Championship play-off final at Wembley in the first half, but Sunderland struck back in the second with goals from Eliezer Mayenda and substitute Tommy Watson – the latter coming in the fifth minute of added time – to seal an astonishing win.
The significance of the achievement was highlighted by the fact it was the first time in 15 years a team had come from behind to win a Championship final.
