Bolton Wanderers have achieved a remarkable feat by winning promotion to the Sky Bet Championship after their victory over Stockport County in the League One Play-Off Final. This triumph marks the club's return to the Championship for the first time since their relegation in the 2018-19 season. The Trotters ended their longest spell outside the top two divisions of English football, which lasted from 1983-84 to 1992-93, totaling ten seasons. The match showcased several notable statistics, highlighting the significance of this victory for Bolton Wanderers. Kyle Wootton made history as the first player to score an own goal in an EFL Play-Off Final since Jon Mellish did so for Carlisle United in the 2022-23 League Two final. Additionally, Sam Dalby’s goal was the 18th scored by a substitute for Bolton Wanderers in League One this season, tying with Huddersfield Town for the joint-most. Ruben Rodrigues also made headlines by scoring the earliest goal in an EFL Play-Off final at Wembley since 2020-21. His performance, including two goals and two assists across two Wembley appearances, further solidified his impact on the club's success this season. This victory not only signifies a new chapter for Bolton Wanderers but also sets the stage for their upcoming challenges in the Championship.
