Southampton secured their place in the Championship play-off final after a nail-biting 2-1 win in extra time over Middlesbrough.

BBC Sport learned a Southampton performance analyst is alleged to have recorded Middlesbrough training and taken pictures of tactics during a final training session ahead of the play-off semi-final first leg.
