Leeds faces play-off lottery after Saints defeat
Leeds United will have to face the lottery of the EFL Championship promotion play-offs after failing to deal with Southampton at Elland Road on the final day of the regular season.
The Whites needed a win to have any chance of stealing the second automatic promotion place from Ipswich Town, but its win over Huddersfield Town meant even that would not have been enough to send Leeds back up to the Premier League.
Joel Piroe cancelled out Adam Armstrong's goal, but Will Smallbone restored the visitors' lead before half-time and it remained that way to the final whistle.
Leeds will now face Norwich City in the play-offs after the Canaries dropped from fifth to sixth with a 1-0 loss to Birmingham City.
The Saints are also in the play-off picture and will face West Bromwich Albion in their two-legged semi-final.
