Sheffield United vs Sunderland LIVE: Championship play-off final score and updates

45+6 mins: Rigg fires a bouncing half-volley towards Cooper’s goal – no trouble for the keeper, who will be happy to just see some of the ball.

45+5 mins: Mayenda tries doing it all himself but Vini Souza does brilliantly just to lean on him, not doing enough to foul but forces the forward to lose his balace.

45+3 mins: Rhian Brewster defends a Sunderland corner well, but unlike 20 minutes earlier, it doesn’t lead to Sheffield United goal this time.

Sunderland retrieve it on halfway and have to build from the back.

45+1 mins: EIGHT minutes added on.

A lot of that comes from Luke O’Nien’s treatment who is now back on the bench, grinning through the pain.

44 mins: Mundle has been one of the few bright sparks for Sunderland so far. He gets it on the left again and makes strides into the centre, only to be crunched by Ahmedhodzic.

It was probably correct that Harrison Burrows’ goal was chalked off, but it is a reprieve for Sunderland nonetheless. They haven’t offered much in this first half.

Regis Le Bris opted to drop Patrick Roberts and Wilson Isidor and so far, neither decision has really been justified. Sheffield United have made all the running so far.

40 mins: Could this be a catalyst for Sunderland? They’ve barely been in this play-off final – and if they conceded a second, it’s hard to have imagined them recovering.

But they’ve been handed a reprieve, and if they can get to half-time in this position, there will still be hope.

Le Bris’s side need to start playing either way.

37 mins: Chris Kavanagh comes to Sunderland’s rescue, with Souza in an offside position and blocking the sight of Patterson.

ANOTHER GOAL AT WEMBLEY FOR BURROWS!

But will it stand – his half-volley from the edge of the box goes through the crowd into the bottom corner, but as he hits it, Souza is standing directly in front of Patterson.

The ref is off to the monitor…

32 mins: Sunderland are messing up even the simplest of passes – they’re all going wayward.

One back to the keeper, under zero pressure, had Patterson running in circles to retrieve it.
