The full Premier League line-up for next season has been confirmed after Southampton beat Leeds United in today's Championship Play-off Final.

The Saints, who finished fourth, beat third-placed Leeds 1-0 at Wembley this afternoon, courtesy of top scorer Adam Armstrong's 24th minute strike.

They will join Ipswich Town in next season's top tier and boasted three ex-Town players in their starting XI - academy product and midfielder Flynn Downes, plus former loanees winger Ryan Fraser and keeper Alex McCarthy.

Town did the double over Russell Martin's Saints in the Championship this season - a 1-0 away win in September, followed by an iconic 3-2 win at Portman Road on Easter Monday, courtesy of Jeremy Sarmiento's late, late winner.  

Boss Martin - who bested Daniel Farke, his former manager at Norwich City - said: "I feel really emotional and overwhelmed by the support I have had over the last nine or 10 months, especially in the tough times.

"For them to give me the job in the first place, I felt like I had to do this to justify and validate it so I'm so pleased for them because it wasn't an exciting appointment for them, I finished 10th at Swansea and had a really clear way of doing things at MK [Dons], and now here.

"So to take me on was really brave. The team have been so great and I'm really grateful and proud of them."
