Adam Armstrong’s 24th-minute goal consigned Leeds to more play-off pain.
Southampton secured an instant return to the Premier League after Adam Armstrong struck in the first half to haunt Leeds again and earn his team a precious 1-0 win at Wembley.
Leeds and Southampton were unchanged after impressive second-leg victories over Norwich and West Brom respectively last week and walked out to a raucous but wet Wembley. Back came Southampton, with Armstrong unable to pick out Will Smallbone in the area before Smallbone had a curled free-kick parried wide by Illan Meslier.The sun started to break through soon after and with 24 minutes played, it was Saints who broke the deadlock.
Yellow cards started to become more frequent than chances towards the end of the first period until Saints went close to a second.
