Dan Ballard sent Sunderland into the Championship play-off final with a dramatic last-gasp extra-time header, securing a 3-2 aggregate win and ending Coventry City’s Wembley dream at the Stadium of Light.
The central defender struck in the third minute of stoppage time, just as the 120th-minute mark had passed, to make it 1-1 on the night. This ensured Sunderland’s place in the final against Sheffield United on Saturday, 24 May.
