Tommy Watson’s 95th-minute goal secured 2-1 victorySheffield United’s Chris Wilder concedes a bitter blowRégis Le Bris said the 19-year-old Tommy Watson’s dramatic stoppage-time winner to clinch Sunderland’s promotion to the Premier League encapsulated a rollercoaster season and suggested team spirit will be key if they are to cope with the step up next season. The French head coach masterminded Sunderland’s return to the top flight after eight years in his first season at the club.Watson, a 73rd-minute substitute, scored in the fifth minute of added time to complete a dream comeback victory after Eliezer Mayenda cancelled out Tyrese Campbell’s well-taken opener.

Sunderland stormed back from a goal down after Tyrese Campbell’s first-half opener to return to the Premier League after eight years away.Sunderland’s performance was something of a slow-burner but ultimately found two big moments. The first was courtesy of Eliezer Mayenda, who scored with their second shot on goal, and the second will live long in the memory for both the goalscorer and those here to witness it.

It would be tempting to say this is the natural order of things given the financial challenges faced by clubs suddenly thrown into the world’s richest domestic football competition.Even when they do spend huge amounts in order to give themselves a chance of survival, as Southampton and Ipswich did, respectively spending £62.8m and £106m net in the summer of 2024, the gap appears too big to close.
