The '''2021–22 EFL League Two''' (referred to as the '''[[Sky Betting & Gaming|Sky Bet]] League Two''' for sponsorship reasons) was the 18th season of [[EFL League Two|Football League Two]] under its current title and the 30th season under its current league division format. The season is known for the dramatic finish to the last automatic spot (3rd) between Bristol Rovers and Northampton Town. Bristol Rovers started the day needing to better the result of 3rd placed Northampton Town or win by 5 goals more than their rivals. Northampton Town beat 22nd placed Barrow 3-1, and by halftime, Bristol Rovers seemed on course for a playoff position despite leading 2-0 against Scunthorpe United, thanks in part to Lobley's own goal. However, the team delivered a remarkable second-half performance, netting 5 goals against a youthful Scunthorpe side. With just 5 minutes remaining, Anderson's header propelled Bristol Rovers into the automatic promotion spot (Anderson's crucial winner against Colchester United earlier in March, secured the team's place in the playoff ranks for the first time this season). The dramatic final moments saw Bristol Rovers clinch automatic promotion from League Two based on goals scored as the two teams were tied on points and goal difference. Manager Joey Barton implored fans to clear the pitch after Anderson's decisive goal triggered a pitch invasion, halting the match for nearly 20 minutes. Fortunately, the remaining 5 minutes and added time were played without incident, sealing Bristol Rovers' immediate and triumphant return to EFL League One following last season's relegation, beating already relegated Scunthorpe United 7-0. <ref>{{Cite news |title=Bristol Rovers go up after extraordinary 7-0 win |url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/61281127 |access-date=2024-03-22 |work=BBC Sport |language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |title=Northampton denied automatic promotion despite win |url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/61281123 |access-date=2024-03-22 |work=BBC Sport |language=en-GB}}</ref>
