Kevin Phillips believes Sunderland deserved to snatch a dramatic play-off victory against Sheffield Wednesday. With extra time looming, Patrick Roberts bagged on 93 minutes to level the game but most importantly put the Black Cats ahead on aggregate.
Alex Neil’s men held on for the remaining seven minutes of injury time to book their place in the League One play-off final. Wycombe Wanderers await at Wembley - a stadium Sunderland will play at for the fourth time in three years.
Club legend Phillips thinks his former side were the better side throughout the two legs and are worthy finalists. “They’ve shown, for me, everything you need to get to a final,” he told Sky Sports post-match.
