Leeds United met an all too familiar fate as they lost a fourth straight play-off final.
Micah Richards singled out Leeds United pair Georginio Rutter and Wilfried Gnonto for below-par performances during Sunday’s Championship play-off final defeat against Southampton. Leeds suffered Wembley heartbreak once again as Adam Armstrong’s clinical first-half finish handed Southampton a 1-0 win and promotion to the Premier League.
“Until Dan James came on in the second half, they had just run out of ideas. Obviously, they had that chance with James when he hit the bar as well, but I was very disappointed with Leeds because I could hear the fans all day. I was staying by the station at Kings Cross, and they had been singing all morning and I thought they would take that extra sort of energy to Wembley, but it just didn’t transpire to the pitch which is disappointing. I really thought Leeds could do it on the day.
