Lead

 * "placed from third to sixth place" - repetition of "place(d)" ✅
 * Wikilink added time and extra time to the relevant articles ✅

Route to the final

 * "Manchester City finished the regular season in third place, one place and two points ahead of Gillingham." - repetition of "place" ✅

Background

 * Wikilink Wembley Stadium to the correct article only on the first mention ✅
 * "and were thus looking to complete a return to the First Division at the first attempt." - needs to be referenced
 * Although it's a logical deduction that if they had been relegated the previous season then they were looking to bounce back at the first attempt, I can't find a reference that specifically expresses it in those terms, so have removed this.

Summary

 * "before scoring with an "emphatic" shot." - according to whom?
 * According to The Times, but I don't really think it's worth attributing a one-word quote, so have changed it
 * "With only a few minutes of normal time left," - BBC News says it was a minute remaining ✅
 * "Dickov saw his header gathered by Bartram and although Hodge's cross was blocked by Jeff Whitley's hand, no penalty was awarded, and with no goals being scored in the additional period of time, the match would be decided by a penalty shoot-out." - run-on sentence ✅

Post-match

 * "the game has been regarded as one of the most exciting in English football history" - regarded by whom?
 * Removed and rejigged this section
 * The terms manager and captain can be wikilinked to the relevant article only on the first mention ✅
 * Tony Pulis should be spelt out in full and wikilinked only on the first mention of him ✅
 * "Gillingham, under new manager Peter Taylor," - needs to be referenced since 11v11 makes no mention of it ✅
