They were presented with the trophy on Saturday after they beat Notts County away and Port Vale lost at home to Gillingham.
And boss Grant McCann was allowed to take the EFL trophy home with him.
McCann, 45, took to X on Sunday, posting a photo of himself seemingly sleeping next to the silverware in bed as has become a trend in recent years.
The ex-Northern Ireland midfielder, who won League One with Hull in 2020-21, captioned the snap: "Afternoon kip with this beautiful thing," and added a heart-eyes emoji.
However, it did not take long for supporters' eyes to be caught by the reflection in the trophy.
Because while McCann appeared to be fast asleep, not all was quite as it seemed.
In the reflection, McCann's arm can be seen holding his phone and taking the selfie.
And that sparked a wave of hilarious responses on social media - including one which was just a string of laughing emojis.
One said: "Generational stinker
Another wrote: "Haha that reflection - much deserved pose!!"
And a final user typed: "School boy."

Forster so pleased with North Wales Crusaders' defence
Crusaders fell behind during their huge home clash in League One, but they successfully turned things around to record a notable 14-4 triumph at Colwyn Bay's Stadiwm CSM. Not for the first time this season, league leaders Cru managed to shut-out their opponents during one half and this left head coach Forster extremely pleased. He told CruCast: "I thought for grit and determination, it was our best defensive display of the year. "I think we could have been a lot better in the first half with our hit-and-stick and we were over-chasing on edges, just going past the ball and they kept trying to get us back on the inside. "To be fair, we spoke about that at half-time and I thought the way the boys rectified it in the second half was outstanding. "Apart from the actual try they did score... I don't think Midlands looked like scoring and to do that against second in the league, just, you know, speaks volumes just of our lads turning up for each other and defending for each other." North Wales now have to play the waiting game prior to their return to action. This will be on July 6 when Crusaders play host to Workington.

Gaffer has done a whole host of interesting and different jobs over the years TAKE A SECOND LUKE Former Championship manager, 44, now working at Bristol Airport as picture of him in uniform goes viral Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A FORMER Championship manager has swapped wingers for wings - by taking a job at Bristol Airport. And fans could barely believe their eyes as he opted for a high-viz instead of a high line. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Luke Williams was dismissed as Swansea manager in February Credit: Getty 2 He has taken on a new job helping those with mobility difficulties at Bristol Airport Credit: Ex-Swindon and Notts County chief Luke Williams was Swansea boss from January 2024 until his sacking in February 2025. The London-born gaffer, 44, was placed on gardening leave. But despite no doubt receiving a pay-off from the Welsh club when axed four months ago, he was keen to do something worthwhile during his time out of the game. So much so that as he awaits a new stint in a dugout, kind-hearted Williams has undertaken a gig helping disabled and limited-mobility passengers around the Bristol Airport terminal, as reported by The Athletic.

And it did not take long for a photo of him at his new workplace to go viral. The snap showed humble Williams wearing his yellow reflective vest uniform and lanyard coming out of the lift in Bristol. An X user wrote: "Luke Williams gone from managing the Swans to working in Bristol Airport, someone check VAR." CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS One replied: "He's just doing this because he's bored, he genuinely doesn't care about others' opinions and you have to respect it." Another commented: "Fair play to the guy."

A fourth added: "Cardiff City fan here with nothing but respect for this. Call me woke if you want. (*best believe I'll turn up in full bluebirds kit when I fly out next week)" And a final person typed: "Clearly has a massive work ethic. Good luck to him!" Williams told The Guardian in 2024 that he places a strong emphasis on commitment and dedication, declaring: "In my opinion, motivation in life is everything." He also revealed how he loaded lorries for BHS and drove minibuses to and from nightclubs and airports to fund his early coaching career. In those days, he collected £1.50 for every player who attended his sessions. Williams also applied for an electrician course when he left his coaching role with Swansea under Russell Martin in 2022.

SPFL club namecheck iconic Rangers Europa League moment as they reveal big signing
It was certainly a unique way to tease the news Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN SPFL club have incorporated footage of an iconic Rangers goal into a signing tease, briefly leaving some fans perplexed. The Gers' Europa League moment is fondly remembered by fans, but few would have thought it would be used in this way. Sign up for the Rangers newsletter Sign up 3 Mick Kennedy's East Kilbride are SPFL League Two's newest side Credit: Michael Schofield 3 The club bizarrely teased a signing with a clip of John Lundstram's iconic goal for Rangers against RB Leipzig Credit: Willie Vass 3 It saw them through to the Europa League final Credit: EPA East Kilbride FC have been steadily on the rise for a number of years, having just broken into the pyramid to play in League Two next season. Mick Kennedy and Si Ferry's men defeated Bonnyrigg Rose in the playoff final to make it into the SPFL for the first time in the young outfit's short history. Ahead of the huge campaign the transfer business is already well underway. Ex-Kelty Hearts and Partick Thistle midfielder James Lyon, East Fife's Jack Healy, and star of Edinburgh City and Love Island Ouzy See have signed up. They also snapped up 6ft 4in Slovakian centre half Erik Sula who was most recently at Stirling Albion. But the latest signing is very different and EKFC had some thinking they'd pulled off a massive coup to sign ex-Ibrox star John Lundstram! They posted a clip on social media of the Englishman's goal which completed a stunning European comeback against German side RB Leipzig back in May 2022. The 3-2 victory on aggregate saw them through to the final of the competition in which they were defeated by Eintracht Frankfurt on penalties. The video - shared with the classic signing teaser caption of eyes and pen emojis - had supporters saying 'no chance surely' and 'I don't understand'. But it was all made clear soon after as the club confirmed that commentator Callum Patterson is returning to K-Park. Mick Kennedy & Si Ferry in dreamland as play-off win sparks wild pitch invasion as East Kilbride plot rise through SPFL His voice can be heard in the Rangers clip describing the moment: "Keeper's made a mess of this, oh and it's going to go in, it's Lundstram! "And Rangers have got a third goal, they're back in front in the tie! "John Lundstram slides his knees into the corner, into the fans!" EKFC said in their post they're 'thrilled' to welcome him back to commentary duties for match highlights, bringing a 'wealth of experience' with him. One replied that it was the 'strangest announcement I've seen', while another commented: "Teaser video for a commentator, Scottish football never change."
