### Lead
Think a mention of Wembley Stadium being in London would be of a benefit to the reader
Done. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 18:59, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
"Aston Villa had lost in the play-off final the previous season while Derby had failed to progress through the play-offs three times in the previous five seasons." - what about last to avoid close repetition of "previous"
Done. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 18:59, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
Jack Marriott in the lead is linked to the Royal Navy officer and not the footballer

### Route to the final
"Aston Villa were eleventh in the table heading into March and went on a ten-game winning streak," - Aston Villa standing eleventh in the table into March is not mentioned by 11v11. Please find another source that explicitly states this fact
Indeed, and it was wrong, so good spot.  Fixed. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:33, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
"Derby lost the first leg of the play-off semi-finals at home" - where exactly?
Added. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:33, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
"Dallas scored his second midway" - second goal
Added, although not strictly necessary. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:33, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
Wikilink Villa Park
Done. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:33, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
"Gayle was sent off towards the end of the game" - what for?
Added. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:33, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
Wikilink penalty shootout
Done. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:33, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
"Two saves from Villa goalkeeper Jed Steer allowed Tammy Abraham to score" - just plain "Abraham" will suffice since he is already mentioned a few sentences beforehand
Done. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:33, 29 April 2020 (UTC)


### Background
We don't need to link Pride Park and Villa Park since both stadiums will be linked earlier in the article
Indeed. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:45, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
"However, Craig Bryson and Andy King were both out." - please find if possible source(s) that state exactly what both players were out of the final for
Done. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:45, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
" but Ørjan Nyland, Tom Carroll and Jordan Lyden were all sidelined." - anything out there to state why exactly all three of these players were absent from the final?
"long-term injuries" is sufficient thus added. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:45, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
"Aston Villa were considered favourites to win the match." - by whom?
Press and bookies, thus added. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:45, 29 April 2020 (UTC)


### First half
Wikilink free kick, offside and corner to their respective articles
Done. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:48, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
"In immediate response, Grealish's sent through a pass for El-Ghazi" - Grealish
Done. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:48, 29 April 2020 (UTC)


### Second half
"McGinn beat him to the ball and headed the ball into the Derby net." - repetition of "ball"
Done. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:48, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Will put the review on hold to allow the nominator to address/query the points raised above. MWright96 (talk) 14:09, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi, sorry to butt in, could we also move the table in "road to the final" down a bit? It currently displays to the left of the infobox on my display. Hope this is ok. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:38, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
That's odd, must be a browser issue.  I'm using Chrome and even down  at like 6% original  size, it appears below the text for me. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 14:39, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
MWright96 I've made some changes above, responded to each of your points and expanded the lead (even though that wasn't one of your points), so please let me know if there are any other issues I should seek to address.  Cheers for the review, much appreciated. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 19:52, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

@The Rambling Man: Nothing else needs addressing. This article is now GA class. MWright96 (talk) 20:28, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
