Bolton Wanderers won promotion to the Sky Bet Championship with victory over Stockport County in the League One Play-Off Final.

Take a look at the best stats from the Trotters' success:

Bolton Wanderers have returned to the Championship for the first time since being relegated in the 2018-19 season, ending what was their longest spell outside the top two divisions of English football since 1983-84 to 1992-93 (10 seasons).
Kyle Wootton is the first player to score an own goal in an EFL Play-Off Final since Jon Mellish put it onto his own net for Carlisle United against Stockport County in the 2022-23 League Two final – it was the first own goal that decided a play-off final since Levi Colwill for Huddersfield Town against Nottingham Forest in the 2021-22 Championship final.
Sam Dalby’s goal was the 18^th scored by a substitute for Bolton Wanderers in League One this season, the joint-most of any side (also Huddersfield Town); it was Dalby’s 12^th league/play-off goal of the 2025-26 campaign, the joint-most of any Trotters player this term (also Mason Burstow on 12).
Stockport’s Adama Sidibeh is the first non-Premier League player to score in two games at Wembley in a season since Adam Hammill and Ashley Fletcher in 2015-16 for Barnsley (EFL Trophy final & League One play-off final) – both of Sidibeh’s Wembley goals this term west assisted by Odin Bailey.
Ruben Rodrigues is just the second Portuguese player to score an EFL Play-Off Final goal at Wembley, and the first since Ricardo Vaz Tê scored the winner for West Ham United against Blackpool in the 2011-12 Championship playoff final.
Bolton Wanderers' Ruben Rodrigues has been directly involved in four goals across his two appearances at Wembley scoring two today and providing two assists for Oxford United in the 2024 League One play-off final – no player has been involved in more goals at Wembley for a Premier League or EFL side since the start of 2023-24 (also Ismaila Sarr and Bruno Fernandes).
At two minutes and 40 seconds, Ruben Rodrigues’ opening goal for Bolton Wanderers was the earliest scored in an EFL Play-Off final at Wembley since Oliver Turton scored an own goal after 47 seconds for Blackpool in the 2020-21 League One final.
