Middlesbrough have publicly stated they want Southampton to be 'prevented from participating in the EFL Championship play-off final' over the 'Spygate' scandal. Boro's bombshell statement‚ released on Friday‚ says kicking Saints out is the 'only appropriate response' over an issue that 'goes to the heart of sporting integrity and fair competition'. As revealed by Daily Mail Sport last Thursday‚ a Southampton first-team analyst was caught allegedly filming Middlesbrough's training from behind a tree ahead of Saturday's play-off semi-final first leg‚ which ended goalless. On Friday night‚ the EFL charged the south coast club with a breach of their rules.
CHAMPIONSHIP CHAOS! SpyGate hearing date set as Southampton face expulsion and play-off final at risk of postponement
This is the sensational image that shows a Southampton analyst hiding behind a tree and using his mobile phone to spy on Middlesbrough's training session. Daily Mail Sport can exclusively reveal the picture that proves the individual was overlooking Boro's tactical drills in the 72 hours before their Championship play-off semi-final first leg on Saturday.
Ayling was incensed by something Harwood-Bellis‚ who is engaged to Man United legend Roy Keane's daughter Leah‚ said to him on the pitch. The heated row spilled over onto the touchline and the managers had to be separated when the referee was explaining the dispute to them. Fans watching the live coverage of Southampton's dramatic 2-1 win that sent them to the Championship play-off final were in the dark over what caused such a heated reaction.
'Saints' has become one hell of an ironic moniker in the space of a week. In their ruthless pursuit of Premier League football‚ Southampton have pushed‚ bent and perhaps even broken the rules to an unprecedented degree. They've taken football's dark arts to a level that would make even Diego Simeone wince. We'll call it skullduggery here but rival fans have been more explicit in condemning the behaviour of Tonda Eckert's Championship villains.

Chloe Bannan took a potshot at Neil and then hastily deleted her X account after the Lions were beaten 2-0 by Hull City in the Championship play-offs. It has left the Bannan family with something of a PR nightmare after social media took the side of Neil‚ who‚ in guiding Millwall to third place‚ has given them their best season since 1994.
Hull City have been upsetting the odds ever since the season began and they have no plans to stop just yet after beating Millwall to a spot in the Championship play-off final. Hull City were expected to be fending off relegation when hit with a two-window transfer embargo. Having not won away since March 10‚ they were also expected to get beaten by a Millwall side that missed out on automatic promotion to the Premier League by a point.

TOM COLLOMOSSE AT VILLA PARK: One more win. One more win to turn a wonderful era for Aston Villa into one that will be remembered for ever. There was pressure here‚ all right. If Nottingham Forest had prevailed‚ Villa players‚ fans and even Unai Emery himself would have been questioning everything they had done. Not now. Not now Villa are so close to the Europa League title‚ which would be the fifth of Emery's career. How fitting it was that John McGinn‚ who joined this club when they were in the Championship‚ should score twice and produce a barnstorming performance just when it was needed. He has remained while players have come and gone and if he were to lift the trophy against Freiburg in the Final in Istanbul next month‚ his status as a Villa great would be assured. McGinn's late double secured the result after earlier goals from Ollie Watkins and Emi Buendia - from the penalty spot - had given them the edge.
EXCLUSIVE BY CRAIG HOPE: Middlesbrough have caught what is thought to be a Southampton first-team analyst allegedly recording their training session from a bush‚ in a sensational repeat of the Marcelo Bielsa 'spygate' furore. Daily Mail Sport can reveal that an individual was spotted and approached by club staff on Thursday morning at Boro's Rockliffe Park training centre‚ 48 hours before Kim Hellberg's side host Tonda Eckert's Saints in the Championship play-off semi-final first leg. It is claimed the male deleted video and pictures from his mobile phone and refused to identify himself. He then left the site of the training ground and made his way into the nearby Rockliffe Hall Hotel‚ owned by Boro chairman Steve Gibson‚ before changing clothes in a toilet and leaving the area. It is understood Boro have contacted the EFL‚ given spying on opposition training would breach the League's rules.
