The Sports Buff ⚽️ ⚾️ 🏈

Southampton beat Leeds United 1-0, to earn promotion at the first time of asking. Going into the game, The Saints arguably had the psychological edge coming into this one, as they have beaten Leeds home and away.

Naturally in a game of this magnitude, goals are usually few and far between, and so it proved. Top-scorer Adam Armstrong, the man with the goal for Russell Martin’s men. That goal would be the Scotland striker’s 24th of the campaign.

Only Blackburn forward Sammie Szmodics (27), scored more. As for Leeds, this result will be a painful one to swallow. For much of the season, they appeared to be out of the playoff picture, only for them to drag themselves right into contention, to only endure poor form at the worst part of the season.

It’s been an encouraging season under Daniel Farke, despite coming up just short. Burnley, Sheffield United and Luton Town will be the sides dropping down from the Premier League to join Leeds United next season.

With the greatest respect to them three, Leeds will fancy their chances of being right up there for promotion next season. A massive credit must go to Southampton boss Russell Martin.

The former MK Dons boss did suffer some heavy defeats this term, but despite that, his Southampton side will still be getting promoted. It takes a special kind of character to overcome such criticism.

Saints fans enjoy this, this is your moment the good times just might be back again. Adam Armstrong might be a wanted man, just bear that in mind, yeah?
