Fleetwood win playoff to continue remarkable rise


LONDON (Reuters) - Fleetwood Town continued their remarkable rise through the English League system when they beat Burton Albion 1-0 in the League Two playoff final at Wembley on Monday to reach League One, the third tier, for the first time.

Fleetwood won a tense game when Burton goalkeeper Dean Lyness misjudged the flight of Antoni Sarcevic's 30-metre free-kick 15 minutes from time and although he got a hand to the ball, he could not stop it flying into the net.
