  Done. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:56, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

Route to the final

• "Maskell equalised before Swindon took Hoddle" - I'm not sure what the bold text is trying to say; perhaps a little rewording is in order?

  Removed "Swindon took". The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:58, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

• "It was the only goal of the game with the match ending 1–0." - how about It was the only goal of the match with it ending 1–0.

  Done. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:58, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

Background

• "which was played over two legs had ended 2–2, and had played in the second tier since that promotion." - close repetition of the term "played"

  Split. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 20:00, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

• "the club's promotion was overturned by the Football League as a result of financial irregularities, and the club" - close repetition of the word "club"

  Repeat removed. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 20:00, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

Summary

  Done. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 20:04, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

• "Eurosport listed the match as 94th best association football match" - close repetition of the same word as highlighted in bold

Improved to Good Article status by The Rambling Man (talk). Nominated by Valereee (talk) at 15:26, 29 July 2020 (UTC).

• Hi Valereee, I think you mean Swindon in the hook, not Leicester? Otherwise article was promoted to GA on 25 July; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; a check on a sample of sources showed no issues with overly close paraphrasing; the £20 million is stated in the article and sourced offline; a QPQ has been carried out - Dumelow (talk) 07:10, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Yep, that's what I meant. —valereee (talk) 17:52, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

All good - Dumelow (talk) 07:57, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
