Watch Trai Hume celebrate Sunderland's promotion to the Premier League by sinking a pint of Guinness
Trai Hume got the party started for Sunderland following their dramatic Championship Play-off final victory over Sheffield United on Saturday.
Hume has played a key role in the Black Cats push for promotion to the Premier League with some stellar performances throughout the season.
The Northern Ireland international produced another impressive display against the Blades at Wembley as late second half goals from Eliezer Mayenda and Tom Watson secured their return to the top flight after eight years away.

Hume was clearly revelling in the moment as he made his way through the adoring Mackems at King's Cross.
The 23-year-old, who is a real fans' favourite at the Stadium of Light, was offered up a pint of Guinness which he duly downed much to the delight of the Sunderland support, who cheered him on.
After enjoying the celebrations the former Linfield starlet will now link up with the Northern Ireland squad for June's friendlies against Denmark and Iceland ahead of making his bow in the Premier League.
It's just reward for Hume, who was named the club's Player and Players' Player of the Year much to his delight.
"I'm definitely delighted to get both awards," he said. 'The one voted by your teammates is probably the best individual award you can win.
"You spend every day with your teammates, they see you every day, and to get that award from them, I'm just really proud of that.
"Obviously the other ones voted by the supporters, it's like they can see that I always give 100 percent whenever I can, get stuck in whenever I can.
"I think that's the most you can ask from a player is to work hard and give your all. I'm just delighted to get the award."
