Dramatic playoff comeback sees Rochdale into EFL

Rochdale secured promotion back to the EFL with a dramatic comeback in the National League playoff final at Wembley, overturning a 2-0 deficit against Boreham Wood. Tyler Smith and Mani Dieseruvwe's stoppage-time header brought the scores level at 2-2, before Rochdale won 3-1 on penalties, with goalkeeper Oliver Whatmuff (on loan from Manchester City) saving two spot-kicks. The victory came after Rochdale had been denied automatic promotion on the final day of the regular season, when York pipped them to the league title in the 103rd minute.
