FILE: EFL charge Southampton with spying on Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough have called for Southampton to be removed from the Championship play-offs.

The demand follows allegations that Southampton spied on Middlesbrough's training session.

The EFL charged Southampton last Friday for observing the session two days before a play-off semi-final first leg.

Middlesbrough confirmed they were denied the opportunity to be a party in the independent commission hearing.

The Teesside club argues the conduct undermines sporting integrity and demands a sporting sanction preventing Southampton from the play-off final.
