Premier League
Sunderland beats Coventry 2-1 to boost bid for return to Premier League
COVENTRY, England (AP) --- Sunderland struck late to beat host Coventry 2-1 on
Friday in the first leg of the Championship semifinal playoffs.
Goals from Wilson Isidor in the 68th minute and Eliezer Mayenda two minutes
from time -- either side of a Milan van Ewijk counter for Coventry -- put
Sunderland in the driving seat ahead of the return leg at its own Stadium of
Light on Tuesday.
The northeastern side is seeking promotion from England's second tier and a
return to the Premier League for the first time since being relegated in 2017.
The winner of the tie will play either Sheffield United or Bristol City at
Wembley on May 24.
Sheffield won the first leg 3-0 away on Thursday and the teams face off again
at Bramall Lane on Monday.
