Sunderland have won promotion to the Championship after beating Wycombe Wanderers in the League One play-off final.
Elliot Embleton put the Black Cats in front inside the opening 15 minutes, hitting a shot from range which deceived Wycombe goalkeeper David Stockdale and flew into the back of the net. Their lead stayed at one as Wycombe attempted to get back into the game, bringing talismanic striker Adebayo Akinfenwa off the bench in pursuit of an equaliser, but Ross Stewart doubled Sunderland's lead inside the final 15 minutes.
It wasn't the first time in the third-tier play-off final for the former Premier League club. They were beaten in the final by Charlton Athletic in 2019, while last season they suffered a semi-final defeat to Lincoln City.
