Tommy Watson’s stoppage-time winner against Sheffield United on Saturday secured a dramatic 2-1 win in the Championship play-off final, which Underland won after eight years of being unemployed.

Regis Le Bris’ side conceded a first-half goal to Tyrese Campbell at Wembley, but Eliezer Mayenda equalized in the closing stages before Watson delivered the priceless winner.

Sunderland’s recovery from a slow start led to an astonishing turnaround in the single richest game of football, which generated an estimated £200 million ($270 million) in increased revenue.

With the return of hostilities with vengeful rivals Newcastle next season, Watson’s champagne moment made things happen for Sunderland fans.

“This victory shows how resilient and disciplined we were this season,” the team said. Le Bris remarked, “We tried various options, and finally we came up with the solution.

Sunderland’s first-ever Premier League appearance since 2017 comes after a gloomy four-season break in the third tier.

The Black Cats advanced to the top of the standings in the most impressive way despite going through five straight defeats.

In the semi-final second leg against Coventry, Dan Ballard scored the last-gasp extra-time header just seconds after a penalty shootout.

With only 14 minutes left at Wembley before the stunning defeat, they looked down and out once more.

Le Bris, a 49-year-old Frenchman who left Ligue 1 with Lorient last year after enduring relegation, was promoted to the Stadium of Light, which was an impressive achievement.

United have lost four Championship final defeats in ten failed attempts to advance to the play-offs, including one win at Wembley in 100 years.

In the second minute, Sunderland keeper Anthony Patterson deflected Kieffer Moore’s header past the post.

Sunderland captain Luke O’Nien was forced to leave with a dislocated shoulder that made him writhed in pain while attempting to stop Moore’s header.

Jim Montgomery’s incredible save helped Sunderland shock Leeds in the 1973 FA Cup final, which came to mind when Patterson’s stop was played.

However, United did not disappoint in the 25th minute when they won.

With a skillfully weighted pass to Campbell, who guided a composed finish over Patterson from 12 yards, Ben Hamer demonstrated why he won the title of Championship Player of the Year.

Nine minutes later, Harrison Burrows thought he had doubled United’s lead, but after a VAR check, his strike was flagged as offside against Vini Souza.

After the break, United’s substitute Andre Brooks drilled through on goal, but Patterson made a superb save.

With only their second shot on target in the 76th minute, Mayenda scored to bring Sunderland level.

Mayenda was hit with a fierce finish into the roof of the net by Patrick Roberts’ pin-point pass just inside the area.

O’Nien waved his only healthy arm in jubilation as he sprinted off the bench, shoulder in hand, and embraced Mayenda.

That joy only served as a prelude to the exuberant scenes that Watson sparked just five minutes into stoppage-time.

After squandering a loose pass from Moore, Watson headed toward the United States and curled a low shot past Michael Cooper’s fatally slow dive.

Watson’s thrilling winner, which was the perfect farewell gift, ensures Sunderland joins the 19-year-old among English football’s elite. Brighton will join Watson in the close-season.

“It’s unbelievable. When I left the bench, the story was written. Watson said, “I couldn’t have imagined it any better.”

“We’ll see each other again in a big way next year” promises the promise!

Renee Slegers, the coach of Arsenal, stated that her team would remain modest as they prepare for their Saturday women’s Champions League encounter with reigning champions Barcelona.

Arsenal reached the final in 2007 with their first victory, while the Catalan giants have won the competition three times and six of the previous seven finals.

Arsenal hope to be the sand in the gears of the Lisbon showpiece despite the fact that Barcelona are on the verge of a repeat of the quadruple from the previous season.

We will demonstrate courage tomorrow, Slegers said at a press conference, “We respect Barcelona as a team, they are really, really difficult (to face).”

We are very humble for the occasion, but we also want to win, and we must find a way to win. ”

The 36-year-old coach, who took over Arsenal’s season after being appointed in October, warned her team to always be on the lookout for their formidable opponents.

We need to be switched on, disciplined, and courageous, and we must also believe in ourselves, Slegers said.

It’s just been so much work, but it’s all of us, the people who have done this for such a long time, to put ourselves in a position to play this game tomorrow.

We are so excited about the challenge that we will face tomorrow and how well-prepared we will all be for it. ”

Alessia Russo, the team that won the 2007 UEFA Women’s Cup, shared a lunch with the Arsenal squad earlier this week, and the player described it as having a “special” time.

The forward, who was named the football writers’ women’s player of the year earlier this month, acknowledged that any player who plays for Arsenal is aware of how successful it is and how ambitious it is to compete with the best.

We are aware of what has come before us as well, and we had lunch with some of the 2007 winners earlier this week, so understanding what it still means to them is truly special. ”

  ‘Our standard’

The 26-year-old England international has scored seven Champions League goals, finishing only behind Claudia Pino, who also leads the competition.

We are aware that Barcelona is a strong side and consistently has won.

We are capable of doing what we can as a team, and I have full faith in us. ”

In the first leg of their semi-final tussle, Arsenal lost to record-eight-time champions Lyon, but the team recovered with a remarkable 4-1 victory in France to reach the final.

Russo said, “We have spoken about belief a lot as a team, and we have also discovered a lot of ways to win this season.”

It has been a year of learning and highs and lows.

We want to keep that performance in Lyon as a benchmark for the rest of our industry.

We wanted to compete in the final because it was unique and it was a result that we needed to perform without any other options. ”

Kim Little scored the first game of the season between these teams in 2012, when Arsenal won 7-0.

The Scottish midfielder, 34, claims, “I don’t have many memories from the games, but I do remember that my friend Jenny (Beattie) scored and that I also did in one of them.”

Tomorrow, I’m hoping to make more (memories). ”
