After Leicester and Ipswich, it is the Southampton the last team to achieve promotion to the Premier League. THE Saints they beat Gnonto’s Leeds in the playoff final played at Wembley thanks to a goal scored in the 24th minute by Armstrong.
After just one season of purgatory, therefore, English football finds one of its historic teams again. Great disappointment for Leeds, who have long dreamed of direct promotion and instead will have to compete in the cadet championship again next season.
