Southampton’s appeal against their Championship play-off expulsion for ‘Spygate’ has been rejected. The EFL upheld its decision, meaning Hull City and Middlesbrough will now contest the Premier League spot on Saturday. Saints admitted spying on rivals, including Boro, before their semi-final. Southampton called the sanction “disproportionate,” but the ruling is final, crushing their promotion dream and confirming a four-point deduction next season.
