SOUTHAMPTON RETURN TO PREMIER LEAGUE AFTER DEFEAT LEEDS IN PLAY-OFFS

LONDON, May 27 (Bernama-PA Media/dpa) — Southampton secured an immediate return to the Premier League after Adam Armstrong struck in the first half to haunt Leeds again and earn his side a precious 1- -0 at Wembley.

The Saints had won the last two Championship meetings with their fellow play-off finalists and Armstrong had been on target on both occasions.

History repeated itself at Wembley as Armstrong found the bottom corner midway through the first half for his 24th goal of the campaign and it proved enough to send Russell Martin’s side back into the top flight.

It meant Leeds, who went close late on when substitute Dan James hit the crossbar, suffered further play-off pain as they failed to go up for a sixth consecutive time.
