'I'VE NEVER SEEN SCENES LIKE IT' - Sunderland's Call Of Its Insane Buzzer-Beater Goal To Get One Step Closer To The Premier League Is Fucking Awesome
Just to set the scene for those who may have missed it or not know what's going on. EFL Championship playoffs, teams that finish 3rd-6th advance to it where 3rd place plays 6, 4 plays 5, winners play each other at Wembley for the right to get promoted to the Premier League. This was the second leg between Sunderland and Coventry City, all tied 2-2 thanks to Coventry getting a goal during this game. Fast forward and we're in extra time here, last play before penalty kicks and it happens.
Bang. Onions. Whatever you want to say here. A perfect ball into the zone and a header to the corner. Even better is the reaction and call from the club. This is what we should have here in America, we need more excitement from people outside of Gus Johnson, Kevin Harlan, Ian Eagle and Bill Raftery. I'll say it, sports are cool. Sports are made to be fun and when shit like this happens it's awesome.
Now you get Sunderland vs Sheffield United in the most valuable game in soccer. Winner goes up, loser has to stay in the Championship and try again next year. Love when you get limbs like this and fans just going nuts, let them on the field, everyone celebrating their ass off. It's rare you get a true buzzer beater too, even better when it's an elimination game.
