"The top two teams of the 2007–08 Football League One season, Swansea City and Nottingham Forest, gained automatic promotion to the Championship, while the teams placed from third to sixth" - repetition of "teams"

"Paul Heffernan was sent off for headbutting Southend's Peter Clarke with three minutes to go" - what caused Heffernan to headbutt Clarke?

"Doncaster had also never played a competitive at Wembley Stadium." - a word is missing from this sentence
Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:05, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Also Wembley Stadium should be linked on the first mention

"The match kicked off around 3 p.m. on 25 May 2008 in front of 75,132 spectators." - this sentence will need a direct verification from another reference, particularly to the number of spectators at the match

Gary McAllister is already linked in the route to the final section and doesn't really need to be linked here

Reference 13 is missing the author
