Unbelievable, a goal in the last action! They will play in the "world's most expensive match"
On Monday evening, Sheffield United confirmed their dominance over their rivals, beating Bristol City 6-0 over two legs and confidently advancing to the final of the play-offs for promotion to the Premier League. The Blades did not have to wait long for their rival.
In the second leg of the second semi-final, Sunderland hosted Coventry City and it was the hosts who were closer to advancing to the final, as they won away against Frank Lampard's team 2:1.
Their story took Netflix by storm. Now they can return to the Premier League!From the beginning of the match we watched an incredible fight, both teams created scoring opportunities, but the goals did not come for a long time. Finally, in the 76th minute of the game, Ephron Mason-Clark scored and Coventry equalized in the two-legged match. And this promised great emotions in the end. And so it was! The guests had more opportunities, but they were not able to use them and it went to extra time.
In this match, both teams were clearly exhausted and it seemed that the winner would be decided by penalties. Until finally, in the last action after a corner kick, Daniel Gallard scored a goal and the Stadium of Light stands went into ecstasy!
Thus, Sunderland and Sheffield United will play in... the most expensive match in the world! This is not the Champions League final, but the play-off final for promotion to the Premier League is called that. And no wonder, since both teams will be playing for at least £220 million in profit!
Let us recall that Sunderland last played in the Premier League in the 2016/17 season. Later, they were even relegated to League One, and Netflix showed the reality of this distinguished club in a great documentary series.
Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town have been relegated from the Premier League this season, while Leeds United and Burnley have won direct promotion to the elite league.
