After a cagey and goalless first half in the North East, it was forward Eliezer Mayenda who broke the deadlock just after the hour mark.

If that wasn't enough, defender Daniel Ballard scored Sunderland's second of the afternoon a little over 10 minutes later to send the Stadium of Light into absolute bedlam.

In stoppage time, Wilson Isidor scored their third and final goal to round of a perfect afternoon for Régis Le Bris' side.

They've certainly returned to the Premier League in some style!
