Thank you very much for joining me today.

Here is Sam Dalling’s report from Wembley.

Lively scenes.

Elliott Moore heads up the steps to collect the trophy. I suspect the actually piece of silverware does not mean too much for them.

“We are going up!” is being sung by the players as they wait.

Tyler Goodrham: “It means absolutely everything. I have my family up there, it means so much.

“We stick together and that is what we did as a team.

“He [Buckingham] gives us the confidence to go and do what is necessary.

“The fans are unbelievable.”

Josh Murphy: “We played amazingly and we are in the Championship. This group is very special and after that game [losing 5-0 in the league to Bolton] it was sink or swim and we all swam today.

“I want to play in these big moments and my brother [Newcastle’s Jacob] always says ‘it is your time to shine’ and I feel I did that today.”

Ian Evatt will be left feeling frustrated that his team did not show up today.

Oxford had a perfect tactical plan, preventing Bolton from having a shot on target. What a day for local boy Des Buckingham and Oxford.

OXFORD ARE PROMOTED TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP!

90+8 mins: Murphy tries to score a bicycle kick for his hat-trick but completely messes it up. I am sure he will get over it.

90+7 mins: In a surprise to no one, Murphy is given the man of the match award.

90+6 mins: Bolton are camped on the edge of the Oxford box but nothing is happening for them.

90+4 mins: Goodrham will finish the match with some tissue up his noise and a shirt with no name. Not exactly Terry Butcher and his bandaged head.

Collins falls down in the box as he desperately looks to win a penalty but the referee is having none of it.

90+2 mins: Goodrham is the latest to be down in pain after being inadvertently caught by Thomason’s elbow.

90 mins: NINE minutes added on.

Will there be a miracle comeback? Almost certainly not.

88 mins: Moore recovers to come back on. Oxford are very keen to whack the ball as far down the pitch as possible.

86 mins: The Bolton fans look very quiet. Have they accepted their fate?

Bennett is replaced by Leigh. A like-for-like change.

85 mins: The next corner is headed clear by Moore who is clattered by Dempsey for his troubles. The centre-back needs some treatment after being caught in the back of the head. Joe Bennett is also down. Oxford will appreciate the breather.

84 mins: Bolton are yet to have a shot on target, which might indicate why they are not in this match.

They do, however, have another corner. Iredale swings it in from the right and it is flicked wide for another corner by Harris.

82 mins: Long lifts the ball to Murphy at the back post but he cannot get his header on target, missing an opportunity to secure a hat-trick.

Down the other end … Dacres-Cogley finds Jerome with a cross but he heads over from inside the six-yard box.

80 mins: Evatt is offering out some advice which I think equates to ‘get it in the box’.

Dale gets hold of the ball to the right of the Bolton box and he is closed down by the goalkeeper who is a long way from his net. Dale crosses but Bolton scramble clear.

Josh McEachran is on for Rodrigues.

78 mins: Thomason is the latest to be booked for a poor challenge on McGuane.

76 mins: Very much at the point where I think this could go on all day and Bolton would not score.

Jones crosses but Oxford clear, as has been the story of every Bolton attack.

74 mins: Thankfully for Bolton it is only a free-kick which Bennett swings to the front post and Baxter is forced to tip it round the post.

72 mins: Collins is he latest to lift cross into the Oxford box but like all his teammates, it is dreadfully inaccurate and causes no issues. Somehow the pressure has got to Bolton, I feel.

Speaking of which … Baxter and Dacres-Cogley mess up a simple straight ball over the top, resulting in the goalkeeper taking down Dale on the edge of the box amid the indecision. Baxter is booked and VAR checks to see if it is a penalty.

70 mins: Dempsey is cautioned for taking down McGuane with a late challenge.

68 mins: Bolton need something soon. Even their fans are starting to sound a little flat.

66 mins: Murphy has another run through on goal as Oxford turn defence into attack with a superb pass down the line to the winger. He holds off Sheehan and shoots from a tight angle but Baxter does well to save.

Collins, Ogbeta and Sheehan are off, Jerome, Iredale and Adeboyejo on for Bolton. Final throw of the dice?

64 mins: It is another Bolton corner … can they produce a better delivery?

We will have to wait for it because Brannagan is down on the penalty spot looking pretty upset. His game looks to be over. McGuane, formerly of Barcelona, is ready to come on. Brannagan looks close to tears at needing to go off.

62 mins: Bolton enjoy some pressure in the Oxford box but they are completely unable to create a decent opening.

Evatt is having a long word with some of his subs. Looks like we will get a few changes soon.

60 mins: Brannagan has an energy bar as he walks to the touchline. Will that be enough to get him back out on the pitch?

58 mins: Brannagan is in pain and getting some treatment. They will want him to see out the 90 minutes.

57 mins: Murphy takes a deep free-kick from the right for Oxford but he swings it straight out for a goal-kick.

Moments later he races through goal under pressure from Jones, ensuring his shot is weak and slides wide.

55 mins: Bolton have another corner in front of their supporters. The fans are giving it their all, they just need the players to help them.

Sadly, Ogbeta lifts the corner straight onto the top of the net. They need better delivery.

53 mins: Thomason crosses from the byline and the ball hits Moore but it is not a penalty. VAR is in play today but does not disagree with the ref.

There is a little more life in Bolton in the second half. They know they have to produce something special.

51 mins: You would have to think that Bolton need a goal soon or at least force Cumming into a save to show they are in this match.

Dempsey chases down an Oxford defender and wins a throw-in in a dangerous position. This is the sort of attitude Bolton need.

49 mins: Maghoma is on the deck against receiving treatment. I think the ankle issue he suffered early on is still causing him issues and his game is over. More bad news for Bolton.

Maybe Dempsey can bring some much-needed impetus to Bolton.

47 mins: A loose bit of play from Jones ends with him taking out Rodrigues and getting booked. Not an ideal start to the half.

Here we go again! Can Bolton get back into this?

Peter Oh emails: “Is the Oxford shirt sponsored by Barry Glendenning?

“Are Bolton Stayin’ Alive?”

The podcast millions are being wisely spent.

Oxford deserve the lead, Bolton have been completely unable to break their opponents down.

45+2 mins: Bolton reach the final third but like every other time, they cannot find enough space to get away a decent shot. Thomason takes aims from 20 yards or so but it is blocked by a sea of yellow.

45 mins: Five mins added on.

44 mins: You’d have to think Bolton will make a sub or two at the break. They have been seriously off the pace.

GOAL! Maghoma makes a mess of things in his own half, Rodrigues picks up the loose ball and plays it through the Bolton defence for Murphy to latch onto and the winger does the rest.

The winger goes through on goal, rounds Baxter and doubles the lead.
