It was a memorable afternoon this Saturday for Tranmere Rovers

They got promoted to League One in the most dramatic fashion possible: with a goal in the last minute of extra time

Connor Jennings' goal, which now goes down in the club's history, confirmed the club's promotion in the dying seconds of the match. This means they will now play in the third tier

As a result, the Merseyside region with have three clubs in the top three tiers of English football. 

The other two are Liverpool and Everton, which are both in the Premir League. Who knows if the trio will be together in the top flight in a few years
