    Who predicted a 5-5 record-breaker tonight? We certainly didn't.

    It's time for us to sign off now. We hope you enjoyed the drama.

    Same again on Tuesday for some Champions League action?

    Now that we've recovered from that goalfest, let's turn our attention to League Two...

    On Thursday, we'll discover the identities of the two play-off finalists in League Two, and both ties are nicely balanced going into the second legs.

    Plymouth must overturn a one-goal deficit at Wycombe, although their late fight back to only lose 3-2 on Saturday evening has given them some hope of reaching Wembley.

    In the other semi-final, Stevenage and Southend are all square, Barry Corr's header earning the Shrimpers a 1-1 draw at Lamex Stadium on Sunday.

    We'll have a live text commentary covering both games, plus coverage on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra.

    Read Nabil Hassan's report from a simply breathtaking match at the County Ground. Just the 10 goals.

    More information from the reporters at BBC Radio Sheffield, who were at the County Ground. It seems there was crowd trouble at the final whistle....

    Swindon defender Jack Stephens tells BBC Radio 5 live sports extra: "I can't put it into words. We've worked really hard all season. I'm not happy conceding - I don't know how many it was! But it's great for the club and the fans, and we're going to enjoy it."

    Swindon goalkeeper Wes Foderingham tells BBC Radio 5 live sports extra: "The game was so end-to-end. We're disappointed to go 3-0 up and then for them to come back into the game. The main thing is that we got the win and we're going to Wembley."

    Wonder how he feels after conceding five in a victory?!

    Looks like things got a bit ugly on the pitch at full-time, according to BBC Radio Sheffield's Rob Staton at the County Ground:

    Swindon Town manager Mark Cooper told Sky Sports:

    "We're pleased to be through. It is a fantastic achievement for our club. They deserve to be there.

    "But we've got a lot of work to do. Every time they came in our box they scored.

    "Simon Grayson [Preston manager] will be looking on and practicing balls into the box tomorrow in training."

    Swindon Town manager Mark Cooper told Sky Sports:

    "It was torture. The worst game of football I've been through. I did not enjoy it at all. Going to Wembley hasn't sunk in because of the drama. It must be the best play-off game in history?"

    He's not wrong there.

    Swindon midfielder Ben Gladwin tells BBC Radio 5 live sports extra: "It was a great start to the game but we didn't make it easy for ourselves. It must have been a great game for the people at home watching. What a feeling."

    Swindon reach the League One play-off final after an astonishing game of football at the County Ground.

    Fans stream on the pitch and lift the home players aloft.

    I'm surprised anyone's got the energy left for that sort of thing.

    Imagine how many goals we would get if this game went to extra time?

    At the moment, it's still Swindon going to Wembley to meet Preston in the final.

    Meanwhile, Yaser Kasim is booked for mouthing off to the referee after he failed to win a free-kick.

  14. Postpublished at 21:40 British Summer Time 11 May 2015

    This game is still in the balance. We're not sure how.

    Two-goal Ben Gladwin is off, and big defender Raphael Rossi Branco is on for Swindon.

    He may as well have a go at goal. Everyone else is.

    OptaJoe: With 10 goals, Swindon v Sheffield Utd is now the highest scoring match in the history of the play-offs (previous high was 8). Value.

    When do we go to brackets, then?

  16. GOAL (Che Adams)published at 21:36 British Summer Time 11 May 2015

    What on earth is going on?

    Che Adams, who was only introduced a few minutes ago, has just struck to bring Sheffield United level on the night at 5-5.

    Seven minutes of added time now. The Blades couldn't possibly do it, could they?

  17. GOAL (Matty Done)published at 21:34 British Summer Time 11 May 2015

    This is the game that keeps on giving.

    Matty Done slots home after Che Adams' initial shot was blocked.

    Just the ninth goal of the night.

  18. GOAL (Jon Obika)published at 21:29 British Summer Time 11 May 2015

    Are we safe to say this is Swindon's now?

    Massimo Luongo runs clear and feeds to Jon Obika. A couple of quick touches and he twists around the Sheffield United defence to dink it home.

    Preston's strikers must be looking at some of the defending in this game and licking their lips ahead of the play-off final on 24 May.

    Remember, the winners here will take on North End at Wembley for a place in next season's Championship.

    Another one goes in the book - this time Blades defender Craig Alcock, after he cuts through an onrushing Yaser Kasim.
