Southampton to play Hull at Wembley for Premier League place

On Tuesday, Southampton beat Middlesbrough 2-1 in extra time to reach the Championship playoff final. Shea Charles scored the decisive goal in the 116th minute, securing a Wembley showdown with Hull City on May 23.
Southampton currently faces English Football League charges for unauthorized filming of Middlesbrough's training last week. Middlesbrough manager Kim Hellberg previously accused the club of attempting to "cheat" following the allegations.
Riley McGree gave Middlesbrough an early lead before Ross Stewart equalized for Southampton. Sky Sports reported that defender Luke Ayling accused Taylor Harwood-Bellis of using "discriminatory language" during the heated contest.
The final against Hull City is dubbed the "richest game in football," with the winner assured at least 200 million pounds in future earnings. Southampton awaits an independent disciplinary commission hearing regarding the training ground filming accusations.
Southampton seeks an immediate return to the Premier League after relegation last season, though the club's path to promotion is complicated by the pending disciplinary hearing that may be resolved before the May 23 final.
