Southampton advance amid 'spygate'

Southampton have defeated Middlesbrough to advance to the Championship play-off final despite an ongoing investigation into spying allegations.

The club faces potential EFL sanctions after a staff member was allegedly caught at Middlesbrough's training ground.

Middlesbrough officials are reportedly assisting the investigation in hopes of a severe punishment that could see Southampton expelled.

The 'Spygate 2.0' scandal has overshadowed the richest game in football as both teams prepare for a potential legal battle.
