Southampton beat Leeds to return to the Premier League
Armstrong's goal sends Southampton up
Southampton are back in the Premier League after beating Leeds United 1-0 in the Championship play-off final at Wembley on Sunday.
Adam Armstrong scored the only goal of the game in the first half, sending the Saints back to the top flight after a one-year absence.
Southampton started the game brightly and Armstrong had a good chance to open the scoring in the first five minutes, but he fired wide of the target.
However, he made no mistake in the 33rd minute when he met a cross from Ryan Fraser and headed home from close range.
Leeds tried to get back into the game in the second half, but they were unable to find a way past a resolute Southampton defence.
The result means that Southampton are back in the Premier League for the first time since they were relegated in 2023.
