Adam Armstrong is full of pride after firing Southampton back to the Premier League.

Armstrong hit the only goal of the promotion playoff final against Leeds.

He said, "I don't know what to say. Look at this.

This is what I've been working on all year. We knew how good the Championship has been this year. What a way to win, what a way to go up.

I saw the space in behind, Will (Smallbone) winning the ball back. I knew if I kept it low and hard across goal it was going to go in, so it was a nice one.

(Promotion) means everything, The gaffer and his staff came in pre-season, put the mortar down of what they wanted and look at this.

This is why we're footballers. We want to be involved in the biggest games. What a way to win.

The playoff final is probably the biggest game in football. To get promoted to the Premier League is unbelievable. What an amazing win this is."
