00:01Sunderland completed one of the stories of the season by securing Europa League football in their first campaign back in
00:11the Premier League.
00:12Pretty unheard of and they beat Chelsea 2-1 in a memorable day at the Stadium of Light in the
00:18North East.
00:18Reggie Labrie's side began the final day needing both victory and favourable results elsewhere in the league to keep European
00:27hopes alive.
00:28They delivered emphatically. Brighton lost to Manchester United 2-0 which helped their cause as well and Sunderland pulled off
00:36a stunning 2-1 victory against South West London's Chelsea.
00:40Cole Palmer recently left out of the World Cup squad, failed to convert inside five minutes of the game and
00:48then Sunderland took control and never looked back.
00:53The breakthrough came after a direct move as Robin Roof's long pass was flicked on by Luke O'Neill into
01:02the path of Trey Hume.
01:04Both players who played for Sunderland in League 1 combining for a goal in the Premier League.
01:10A second arrived through a Malo Gusto own goal before Palmer pulled one back late on for Chelsea.
01:19Chelsea will have a long hard look at themselves in the mirror before welcoming Xabi Alonso to the club.
01:25They finished in ninth place this season.
