Lead

"Neil Warnock, the Sheffield United manager, was sent off for arguing with the referee." - What exactly was Warnock arguing about that got him sent off the pitch?

Route to the final

"Wolves faced Reading in their play-off semi-final and the first leg was played at the Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton on 10 May 2003." - can't see any mention of Molineux Stadium in the BBC Sport citation

"Kenny, Sheffield United's goalkeeper and player of the year," - think the text in bold should be wikilinked to Sheffield United F.C. Player of the Year

Summary

"with a low drive into the corner of the net from 20 yards after receiving a pass from Miller." - perhaps use the convert template on the text highlighted in bold?

"The Sheffield United manager Neil Warnock was sent to the stands at half time after arguing with the referee." - what was Warnock arguing with the referee about?
Explained above and fixed here too. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 17:01, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"No further goals were scored as the match ended 3–0 to Wolves who secured their place in the top tier of English football for the first time in almost 20 years." - needs to be cited since the BBC Sport Live source and 11v11 don't specially mention it was Wolves' first promotion to the top tier of English football for nearly 20 years

"and were relegated back to the First Division for the 2004–05 season." - shouldn't that be the 2003–04 season with the wikilink amended?
No, I'm talking about the season after next. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 17:01, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Then for this sentence should the First Division be changed to the Championship since that was what the league was renamed to that season? MWright96 (talk) 18:21, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I see the point. That's going to confuse so let's go with "back to the second tier of English football". Cheers. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 19:21, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I believe the mention of the term First Division in the third paragraph should be wikilinked to 2003–04 Football League First Division
