Southampton promotion hopes
SOUTHAMPTON all but secured promotion to the Championship after confirming Plymouth’s relegation to League Two with a 3-1 win.
Southampton are now three points clear of third-placed Huddersfield with a far superior goal difference and he said: “We’re points and a good goal difference now. The players have been top drawer, the supporters have rightly got a smile on their faces.”
Top scorer Rickie Lambert took his league tally to 21 with a brace as Ryan Dickson also netted.
