A championship side Sunderland has earned another call to the premier league after beating Sheffield United in the play offs. Sheffield started scoring through Tyrese Campbell in the first half before Sunderland comeback in the 76th and 90+5 minutes respectively where Eliezer Mayenda and Tom Watson scored for Sunderland.
Traditionally in the championship, after the end of the season, Tam's that finish third and fourth play in the playoffs tier to decide a team that will be promoted to the EPL the subsequent season.
This means Leeds United and Burnley qualified direct promotion as the first and second respectively and now followed by Sunderland.
This season three teams Southampton, Ipswich and Leicester city have already been relegated meaning the three trams which are promoted directly take their places.
