Southampton head coach Tonda Eckert praised his side for “digging deep” in their play-off win over Middlesbrough.
Saints came from behind to win in dramatic fashion on the night, as Shea Charles found the net with just four minutes of extra time remaining.

Eckert’s side will now face Hull City at Wembley on 23 May for the chance to win promotion to the Premier League.
“The crowd was fantastic, it was a very special atmosphere when we came to the stadium,” he told BBC Radio Solent.
“Today we had to dig very deep and credit to the players for doing that over 120 minutes, I think over both legs it was very well deserved.
“I just said to the boys that we are not finished yet, you can be happy about the result but there is more to do.
Eckert was also asked for the latest on the EFL charge over spying on Middlesbrough before the first leg of their play-off games.

Southampton put out another statement on Tuesday morning to share that they were conducting an internal review into the situtation.
“We’ve managed well to not let this distract the team but we take the matter very seriously,” Eckert added.
