GettyTHE MVP
While West Ham loanee Flynn Downes ran the show in midfield, goals win matches and Adam Armstrong's well-taken strike - his 24th of the season - secured Southampton the victory. The forward was sharp in attack and Leeds always looked shaky when the 27-year-old was on the ball in the final third.
GettyTHE BIG LOSER
While he has had an excellent season for Leeds, Ethan Ampadu inexplicably stepped out of defence to try and close down Will Smallbone, leaving Armstrong unmarked, and the diminutive striker slotted home with aplomb. That defensive mistake ultimately settled the contest. Leeds, who briefly topped the Championship table before finishing behind Leicester City and Ipswich Town in the automatic promotion spots, have now lost all six play-off campaigns they have been in.
GettyWHAT COMES NEXT?
Southampton finished bottom of the Premier League in 2022-23 - while Leeds finished in 19th - but will now prepare for life in the English top-flight once again, whereas Farke's team will have to play in the Championship next term.
