...ended 10 minutes earlier/sooner...

Hi all

I was just wondering if you say 'it ended 10 minutes earlier than was expected' or 'it ended 10 minutes sooner than was expected' ?

Thank you

Hi, I was just wondering if you say 'it ended 10 minutes earlier than was expected' or 'it ended 10 minutes sooner than was expected' ? Both are OK. 'Was' is often omitted.
