LONDON — Southampton secured an immediate return to the Premier League on Sunday by beating Leeds 1-0 at Wembley Stadium in the Championship playoff final, the richest one-off match in world football.

An uplift of £140 million in future earnings from broadcast revenue and prize money is guaranteed for the south-coast club thanks to Adam Armstrong’s 24th-minute winner at England’s national stadium.

This was the sixth time Leeds has failed to go up via the post-season series. Making it even more painful is the fact that Leeds finished third in the regular season — three points above fourth-place Southampton — and missed out on automatic promotion after winning only one of its last six games. “I think we probably didn’t play our best game today, but we showed a different side,” said Southampton defender Jack Stephens, who has been with the team since 2011. “A few people have doubted us this season — can we defend, can we dig in? I think we showed we can.”
