Sunderland promoted to Premier League after 8 years

Sunderland returned to the Premier League after eight years away on Saturday.

Sunderland stunned Sheffield United with a dramatic 95th-minute winner to seal a comeback 2-1 win and their return to the Premier League.

Salah named Premier League player of the season

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.
