Jack Clarke has hailed Sunderland as potentially the biggest club he’s been at after their 2-0 win over Wycombe Wanderers at Wembley earned promotion to the Championship. Goals from Elliott Embleton and Ross Stewart sealed the victory for Alex Neil’s side to end a four-year stay in the English third tier and banish the playoff hoodoo.
Clarke was controversially dropped for the final at the expense of local-lad Embleton, but Neil’s decision paid instant dividends as the 23-year-old - who has been with the club for 16 years - fired home the opener and played a pivotal role in the win.
Clarke came into the frey for Embleton on 61 minutes and caused Wanderers problems with his pace and dribbling as legs tired and minds became desperate. And he was the first to join Stewart after the strikers drilled finish found the bottom corner.
