Final of Championship Playoff: Southampton Triumphs Over Leeds to Secure Third Promotion Spot

In a thrilling Championship playoff final on Sunday, Southampton emerged victorious against Leeds United with a 1-0 scoreline, thereby securing their promotion to the Premier League.

The only goal of the match came from Adam Armstrong, who demonstrated great composure to find the back of the net in the first half. This goal turned out to be the game-changer.

For the Saints, this marks a swift comeback to the top tier of English football, following their relegation in the previous season.

Alongside Leicester City and Ipswich Town, Southampton completes the trio of teams ascending to the Premier League.

With this promotion, Southampton is set to see a significant boost in their revenue by £140 million over the forthcoming three seasons.

According to Deloitte, this figure could potentially escalate to more than £305 million, provided the Saints manage to maintain their Premier League status in their comeback season.
