Leyton Orient are back in England's third tier as they secure promotion to League One despite losing 0-2 at Gillingham as Bradford lost 1-0 to Swindon. They are back in the League 1 after a long absence of eight years. The game saw much chaos as it came to a halt due to the floodlights going off in the second half. The game could resume after a 23 minute delay.

Power Cut Mid Football Match Video
For a bit of context to this, there was a powercut with 10 mins left. By the time the lights came back on, results elsewhere meant Orient were promoted regardless.
