Patrick Roberts is ready to cap a 'crazy year' with his first outing at Wembley - but admits it would mean little unless he can help Sunderland win promotion. The January signing from Manchester City scored the injury-time goal at Hillsborough last week which secured an aggregate win over Sheffield Wednesday in the play-off semi-final, and set up Saturday's meeting with Wycombe Wanderers in the final.
Roberts endured a miserable first half of the season out on loan with French side Troyes where he made just one 14-minute appearance as a substitute back in September. So when Sunderland came in for him in January, he seized the opportunity with both hands and he could now end the campaign by playing at Wembley for the first time in his career.
But while that would be an achievement in itself, Roberts admits he will only enjoy it if Sunderland win on the day. "It's been a crazy year," he said.
