Southampton won 1-0 over Leeds United in the Championship playoff final at Wembley Stadium.

Adam Armstrong scored the decisive first-half goal that secured Southampton's return to the Premier League.

The victory could lead to a £135 million revenue increase for Southampton over the next three seasons.

The match featured missed opportunities, injuries, and a late push from Leeds, with Daniel James as a potential game-changer.

The game drew an attendance of over 85,000 spectators, with emotions running high on both sides.

This win marks Southampton's third victory over Leeds this season, while Leeds again failed to secure Premier League promotion through the playoffs.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, a devoted Southampton fan, celebrated the team's success and looks forward to their Premier League return.

The financial windfall from promotion is driven by lucrative TV and advertising deals, with each Premier League club receiving £31 million from British broadcast agreements.

Leeds must now regroup and aim for a stronger campaign next season to achieve their Premier League promotion ambitions.
