Relegated Sunderland ended a miserable season in the Championship by thumping champions Wolves, who missed out on the chance to top 100 points.

Ovie Ejaria tapped Sunderland ahead and Ashley Fletcher lobbed in the second over on-rushing Wolves keeper Will Norris after holding off Danny Batth.

Paddy McNair cut into the box and drilled in the third to seal victory.

Sunderland are the only team not beaten by Wolves in the league this season, following December's draw at Molineux.

The home side, who released boss Chris Coleman from his contract last Sunday, had only previously won two league games at home this season, while Wolves arrived at the Stadium of Light with the division's best away record.

Sunderland were watched from the stands by prospective new owner Stewart Donald, who has agreed a deal to buy the club from Ellis Short as part of a consortium.

Wolves, who lifted the Championship trophy last weekend, finish the season with 99 points, a record for the Molineux club in the second tier.

Sunderland ended the game with six academy players on the pitch at the Stadium of Light, with 20-year-old Luke Molyneux having made his first senior start and Elliot Embleton, Denver Hume and Bali Mumba all coming off the substitutes' bench in the second half.

Sunderland caretaker boss Robbie Stockdale:

"It made me proud that some of them were lads that came through the youth system when I was coaching there. It was a proud moment for the football club.

"There's a lot of hard work that goes into developing young players, and there would have been more involved if they were fit.

"But I've got to say that although I was really proud, and although it was a really good moment for the club, the attitude of the loan players and the senior players was also really good. The environment they created was great.

"John O'Shea epitomises what a professional footballer should be. His brilliance around the training ground, and on the pitch he's always organising. The mix of senior and younger players was really good."

Wolves head coach Nuno Espirito Santo:

"It was a bad game. We were not as intense as we should have been, and that is why we lost.

"A lot of things have been happening, and we were promoted a long time ago.

"We wanted to push for a victory and our fans were there, but the game did not go well. It is not a question now of looking at it too deeply, although we should have done better.

"I cannot take anything away from my boys though. What they have achieved is fantastic. We have finished as champions and we did everything that we wanted to. They should all be very proud."
