There's still some uncertainty over Gooch's future, as his contract is due to expire in a month.  

Amongst the comments on Instagram, there were a number of Sunderland fans pleading with the 26-year-old to stick around for their Championship return.

Gooch began his career with Sunderland, and has made over 200 appearances for the Black Cats.

The Verdict 

Given Gooch's association with Sunderland and how he's been part of the club's decline from the top-flight to the third-tier, it's obvious how much Saturday meant to him.

He's played a crucial role in helping Sunderland back to the Championship and he's not about to let living in that moment slip.

There's a decision to make on his future in the coming weeks, but Sunderland's supporters only underline how much they value him and want him to stay.
