Alex Pritchard has hailed both manager Alex Neil and goalscorer Ross Stewart after Sunderland beat Wycombe Wanderers to earn promotion to the Championship - and admitted he will ‘soak this in’.
Goals from Stewart and Elliott Embleton sealed a 2-0 win at Wembley to end the Black Cats’ play-off hoodoo and send the red and white half of Wembley into rapture. And Neil’s decision to start Embleton ahead of Jack Clarke paid instant dividends as the local lad fired the ball past David Stockdale.
Wycombe applied pressure for long periods but Sunderland’s quality paid off when Man of the Match Pritchard worked the ball brilliantly to Stewart who fired through the legs of his namesake Anthony Stewart and into the bottom corner.
