Manchester United ace Amad suffers play-off heartbreak as Sunderland beaten by Luton Town

Manchester United youngster Amad made his final appearance of his Sunderland loan spell on Tuesday night as they were beaten 2-0 by Luton Town in the second leg of their Championship play-off semi-final at Kenilworth Road.

First half goals from centre-backs Gabriel Osho and Tom Lockyer sealed Luton's passage to their first-ever EFL play-off final as they recovered from behind to prevail 3-2 on aggregate. The Hatters had lost the first leg 2-1 at the Stadium of Light on Saturday.
