Elliot Embleton and Ross “The Loch Ness Drogba” Stewart got the goals as Sunderland secured their long overdue return to the Championship
Full disclosure: As many readers will know, your commentator today is a Sunderland fan, but my reportage will be nothing if not scrupulously impartial. Even if it isn’t, it doesn’t really matter as my levels of on-field influence are zero and would remain so even if I was literally out on the field at Wembley.
Gareth Ainsworth speaks: “We know super-well everyone fancies Sunderland,” the Wycombe boss told the BBC. “Everyone fancies Sunderland who isn’t connected with Wycombe Wanderers, which is brilliant because there’s only one team with something to lose.

Alex Neil walked into his post-match press conference cradling a can of Budweiser and he will not be the only one of a Sunderland persuasion to enjoy the next few days. If London did not already know it, Sunderland are in town and back in the Championship after four long years away.
On Friday night, thousands of supporters, as they have done previously, took over Trafalgar Square, where they were joined by their owner, Kyril Louis-Dreyfus, and on Saturday afternoon more than 46,000 painted more than half of this arena in red and white, bobbing as they waved flags, almost all bedecked in club colours, to crank up the volume as Sunderland made it over the line.

4 min It’s been a confident start from Sunderland, who have clearly come to play.
2 min “Hang on a minute Rob,” says Alex Mac. “These two sides have just broken the record for the highest ever (combined) play off semi final attendances in league one. Surely there is something in the ‘sleeping giant’ cliche?!”

Patrick Roberts scored on the final day of last season to help send Sheffield Wednesday down to League One, and the winger condemned the Owls to another season in the third tier with a stoppage-time winner to put Sunderland 90 minutes away from promotion.
The match was heading into extra-time after Lee Gregory slid the ball home to cancel out Ross Stewart’s first-leg winner but Roberts pounced in the 10 minutes of time added on to earn victory for Sunderland thanks to fine work by Jack Clarke on the left, who tricked his way inside the box before fizzing the ball into the path of Roberts. The duo once cost a combined £21m, which proved handy to Alex Neil.
