Leeds v Southampton LIVE: Championship play-off final result and reaction as Saints dramatically promoted

57 mins: A little smirk from Gnonto as he draws the free-kick off Downes by cleverly moving his body in front of the Southampton midfielder. This is a great chance with a free-kick about 25 yards out towards the left...

But it’s woeful from Summerville. High, wide and not so handsome - poor effort.

55 mins: Good start to the second half from Leeds but they’re still searching for a breakthrough. Summerville tries a backheel flick through to Piroe but it’s cut out.

Things getting frantic now as Leeds pinging in passes and running at defender but Southampton are scrambling clear. Some meaty challenges flying in as well.

52 mins: Summerville curls the ball in but Harwood-Bellis heads behind for a corner. That’s played short and Gruev dinked ball in is nodded out for a throw-in by Aribo

51 mins: Leeds forward again and Summerville’s long-range thunderbolt is blocked. The Leeds fans are starting to make some serious noise again.

Now their team have a free-kick right on the left edge of the box after Harwood-Bellis clatters into Rutter. Yellow card for the on-loan Man City defender and a dangerous position for the Whites.

48 mins: Is that the closest Leeds have come? Aribo gets caught out and suddenly Gnonto is in the box, he chops inside, the ball falls to Piroe and Harwood-Bellis does brilliantly to block his shot that looked destined for the net.

The ball comes out to Summerville on the edge of the box and he tries to curl the ball into the far corner but not enough curl and it goes wide. Better from Leeds.

47 mins: Southampton have flown out of the traps in this second half. They pressure Leeds and Stephens sees a shot from a promising position desperately blocked.

Leeds try to counter but the Saints retreat.

Back underway at Wembley. 45 minutes for Leeds to turn this around, otherwise Southampton are heading back to the Premier League,

And that’s the half-time whistle. A really compelling first half at Wembley and Southampton are good value for their lead.

Adam Armstrong’s neat finish is the difference and only a top Meslier save prevented the Saints striker from making it 2-0. Work to do for Leeds in the second 45 minutes.
