Play Off finals – winners and losers

THE TIMES
About this episode

The play offs are done and dusted. 

For Sunderland their manager Regis Le Bris championed his team’s togetherness, it showed as they scored another last gasp winner. For Sheffield united, heart break as their woeful Wembley record continues.

In League One Charlton went through the play offs without conceding a goal, that was enough to see off Leyton Orient. Manager Nathan Jones made no apology for his teams approach.

A scrappy League Two final saw up and down Walsall face one last heart break losing to AFC Wimbledon. How do they come back from that?
