Will Smallbone provided the assist for the decisive 24th-minute goal, which 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.
It means Leeds, who went close late on when substitute Dan James hit the crossbar, suffered more play-off pain with this a sixth consecutive time they have failed to go up via that route. Victory in the fixture – dubbed the richest match in football – would be worth an estimated £140million in revenue according to Deloitte and the scale of the prize on offer usually contributed towards cagey affairs.
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. Rodon bombed forward and exchanged passes with Gnonto before he was tackled and Crysencio Summerville curled past the post.
