Sunderland’s defeat means they will play their football in the third tier for another year alongside Tranmere Rovers, who defeated Newport County in the League Two play-off final on Saturday.
The addition of Tranmere means there will be seven North West-based clubs in the division next season, including Blackpool, with Bolton Wanderers being relegated from the Championship and Bury promoted from League Two.
