Randy Orton posting about Sunderland's Eliezer Maydena on his Instagram account?

Yeah, I think we may have peaked for the day with that one.

When Eliezer Maydena scored the equaliser for Sunderland, he ran to celebrate with the fans before striking a pose.

If the pose looked familiar to some - it's the signature one of WWE superstar Randy Orton.

After the game, Orton posted an image of Maydena on his Instagram page with no caption. At the time of writing, it has over 153,000 likes.

The Sunderland forward replied to the picture, calling Orton a "legend" to which the wrestler and actor replied with a fist bump emoji.

Sunderland striker Eliezer Mayenda speaking to BBC Radio Newcastle: "It was a really good time to score especially in that moment of the game.

"After the first half, in the second half we were more confident with the ball. This goal was like a recompense about how we played in the second half, so yeah it was good.

"After the goal we said on the pitch, 'lads we have to keep pushing again, we can win the game.' After that we did it. Tommy [Watson] was incredible. He was incredible in the second half. Tommy scored the second goal and everybody was really happy about that.

"Very happy not just for me but for the fans again as well so I'm just very happy to get promotion.

"We stayed confident during all the game. I think we did well today especially with the mentality. Team spirit was good today. I think the fans deserve it."

Being promoted caps a gloriously unexpected rise from where Sunderland were 12 months ago.

From finishing 16th to appointing an unknown French head coach in Regis Le Bris, predicting promotion to the Premier League would have been unthinkable.

But from winning all four league games in August, they have never looked back and were never lower than fourth at any point.

Automatic promotion hopes may have fallen away in the spring as their form dipped with a play-off spot all but guaranteed, but they wrestled back momentum to get past Coventry City in the semi-finals, even if it took a last-gasp Dan Ballard goal in extra time to do it.

And they have done it with a young, inexperienced team. Of the starting XI at Wembley, captain Luke O'Nien was the only player over 25, with Jobe Bellingham and Chris Rigg still in their teens.

While there was not a single Premier League appearance among them compared to 294 in the Blades side.

But Le Bris and his players have made a mockery of those factors to put the Wearside club back among the elite of English football.

Which brings us on nicely to this Get Involved.

What exactly do Sunderland have to do to survive? After the last two seasons - is anyone giving them a chance?

And out of the three teams that have been promoted from the Championship; Leeds United, Burnley and Sunderland - who is the most likely to still be a Premier League club this time next year?

We've not got too long to go today so get in touch using the usual methods and we'll get through as many as we can!

A pure coach Le Bris may be, but is he able to do with Sunderland what the three teams promoted from the Championship in 2023-24 were unable to do - hold their spot in England's top flight for more than one season.

This year's bottom three, consisting of Ipswich Town, Leicester City and Southampton, produced the lowest combined points total of any group of sides in a 38-game Premier League season.

The trio produced just 59 points between them, surpassing the record of 66 set the year prior by Burnley, Sheffield United and Luton Town respectively.

And things look set to get even more difficult for this year's promoted three.

According to Opta, five of the lowest eight Premier League points totals for promoted sides after 34 games have come in the last eight years.

Speaking before his sides relegation this season, Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna said the gap between the Premier League and the Championship "is getting bigger" and that "it's been getting more of a challenge for clubs to be able to bridge that".

Sunderland

Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris: “At the end this game is a good example of the season.

"Emotionally, it’s impressive. The end of the second leg was absolutely crazy. It was the case again, to create this connection, this emotion, these memories for the fans and for us. We need to live these tough moments and it will be really important in my life.

“We showed a strong character even when we are not dominant, even when we struggle as a squad. We stayed connected, we stuck to our plan and maybe later in the game we found an opportunity to change the momentum.

“For me as a manager and in football in general sometimes we forget that it is a collective sport and effort. We tend to focus on one talent but it’s not the main point, it’s about the way we work together.”

Regis Le Bris is a pure coach.

All he cares about is the training pitch, doing his sessions, transmitting his ideas across and the game itself. What surrounds that is not really for him.

Le Bris used to be one of the best academy directors and youth-level coaches in France.

What Le Bris loves the most is coaching young players - he is so good at explaining to them how to get better.

I had no doubt that moving to Sunderland could work for him, and when he looked at the videos he realised the potential.

Prizes do not come much bigger than a place in the Premier League.

And this promotion could become career defining for the Black Cats' French head coach Regis Le Bris.

When Sunderland announced the appointment of Le Bris last June, underwhelmed was the overriding emotion.

It had taken three months to find a permanent replacement for Michael Beale and the club had come up with a man who had just been relegated from Ligue 1 in France with Lorient.

But with the Black Cats now ending their exile from the top flight, that has turned to immense pride among the club's support.

Teenager Tommy Watson scored a 95th-minute winner to send Sunderland to the Premier League and deny Sheffield United in the Championship play-off final.

The 19-year-old, who is joining Brighton next season, curled a low effort past Michael Cooper to secure the Black Cats' return to the top flight after eight years away.

It was an incredible end to a match in which they had been second best for large parts.

Tyrese Campbell had given the Blades a deserved first-half lead and Harrison Burrows would have had a second but for a video assistant referee (VAR) call for offside.

Somehow the Wearside club hung in there and equalised through Eliezer Mayenda on 76 minutes.

Then with United down to 10 men having used all five substitutes before defender Anel Ahmedhodzic went off with a head injury, Watson took advantage of the extra space in the most dramatic way possible.

Sunderland

We've covered the side who have won the Premier League this season - now let's turn to the newest addition to the top flight.

Sunderland are back in the big time for the first time since relegation in 2016-17. It follows a remarkable play-off final at Wembley on Saturday afternoon...

Liverpool

Liverpool’s title has been spearheaded by the best attacking record in the Premier League this season. The Reds lead the competition rankings for goals (86), shots (648), shots on target (231), expected goals (83.5) and big chances (150) in 2024-25.

They failed to score only once in their 38 Premier League games this season (0-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest in September). They scored in all 34 of their league games since – the second-longest scoring run by any side within a single Premier League campaign.

The Reds scored at least twice in 31 of their 38 Premier League games so far this season – an all-time competition record.

Liverpool

This title comes in Arne Slot’s first season in English football – he is only the fifth manager to lift the Premier League trophy in his first season in England.

He is the fourth manager to win the English top-flight title in his first season as Liverpool manager, after Matt McQueen (1922-23), Joe Fagan (1983-84), and Kenny Dalglish (1985-86).

Aged 46, Slot is the third-youngest manager to lead a side to the Premier League title, after Jose Mourinho (twice younger with Chelsea) and Kenny Dalglish.

Slot is the first Dutchman ever to manage a side to the English top-flight title. Netherlands is the 10th nation to have a manager win England’s top-flight, and first new nationality since Liverpool’s last title in 2019-20 under German Jurgen Klopp.
