Sunderland roar back into the Premier League big-time
Teenage substitute Tom Watson has scored a stoppage-time winner as Sunderland rallied to beat Sheffield United 2-1 in the Championship play-off final and earn promotion back to the Premier League. The 19-year-old Watson struck from the edge of the penalty area five minutes into injury time after Kieffer Moore gave the ball away, and then slid on his knees with his jersey off in celebration at Wembley Stadium on Saturday. Sunderland, a club with a distinguished history in English football, could celebrate returning to the top-flight for the first time in eight years. For Watson, it was the ultimate farewell gift for his club as he'll be joining Brighton next season. But after ripping off his shirt and sliding toward the celebrating fans on his knees, he told Sky Sports after the game that his "celebration said it all". Sunderland defender Luke O'Nien, who needed oxygen treatment early and went off after hurting his right shoulder, later joined in the celebrations with his arm in a sling. Sunderland join Leeds and Burnley in getting promoted from the second tier to the money-spinning EPL. The play-off final is the most lucrative one-off match in world soccer, with Sunderland in line for an estimated revenue uplift of around Stg 200 million ($A417 million) in match-day, broadcast and commercial revenue. "Honestly it's incredible, I don't think I can put it into words," Sunderland goalkeeper Anthony Patterson said. "It's not even sunk in what's happening but I'm gonna enjoy every moment now." Striker Tyrese Campbell gave Sheffield United the lead and his side dominated the first half. Spanish forward Eliezer Mayenda equalised in the 76th for Sunderland, three minutes after Sunderland coach Regis Le Bris sent on Watson. It was a heartbreaking defeat for United, who were relegated from the Premier League last season after winning just three games and conceding 104 goals.

England white-ball skip Brook dreams of Ashes first
Harry Brook has been tasked with transporting England back to the top of the white-ball game, but the star batter admits his biggest dream remains to grab the Ashes back off Australia. Brook, Jos Buttler's successor as England's skipper in the limited-overs game, has been charged with leading the once formidable white-ball outfit back to former glories, starting with next year's T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka. But asked whether he'd prefer that global success or an Ashes triumph in the Australian summer leading up to the Asian tournament, Brook could only smile after admitting, following just a moment's hesitation: "I think it is the Ashes. "I know I've taken over the white-ball captaincy, but the Ashes is the pinnacle of cricket for me, still." It's time to sit down with our brand NEW England Men's white-ball captain, Harry Brook 👇#EnglandCricket | @Harry_Brook_88 — England Cricket (@englandcricket) April 8, 2025 The 26-year-old, who's been described by England's top run-scorer Joe Root as the best batter in the world, caused a stir when he gave up a Stg 590,000 ($A1.3 million) pay-day in this year's Indian Premier League with Delhi Capitals to instead recharge his batteries for his international duties. It prompted a backlash from the IPL with Brook set for a two-year ban after he'd also pulled out of playing the previous year. But he promised that no amount of money could have tempted him away from his England commitments because he wants to be in top shape for both the huge Test series against India over the next few months and be ready for the Australia trip. "Definitely not at the minute, I just want to play cricket for England," said Brook, when asked if he'd accept any lucrative franchise offers. "There's a lot of cricket and I'm looking forward to all of it. I'd like to play every game but if I require a week off and that's the best thing for my game then I'm sure I'll be allowed a week off." — Harry Brook (@Harry_Brook_88) March 9, 2025 Brook may not be eligible again for the IPL until 2027 under the league's new rules, so he could, in theory, be spurning well over Stg 1 million ($A2.1 million) by missing two money-spinning years. "That's the rules, so if I do get banned, fair play," he shrugged. "I'm completely committed to playing cricket for England. If that means franchise takes a step back for a little while, so be it." Brook can't wait to have another crack at Australia after having stood in for Buttler as captain in the ODI series last year that Mitch Marsh's team won 3-2. He shone in that series, averaging 78 with a strike-rate of 127.86, but the defeat still rankles. "This might sound a little bit stupid but when you're captain, it almost makes you want to win a little bit more," he said. "It's not me saying that when I'm not captain, I don't want to win. "But I'm a very competitive person, I hate losing at anything. Hopefully I can bring that competitiveness and have it in a good way around the group. "I'm going to be myself, as much as I possibly can be. If you play cricket for England, we're living that dream. As a 10-year-old looking at yourself now, you'd be absolutely buzzing and over the moon."
