Rishi Sunak has said he is "still buzzing" after Southampton swept aside West Bromwich Albion to book their place in the Championship play-off final.

The Prime Minister, a self-described “massive Saints fan”, was in attendance at St Mary's on Friday night to see Saints beat West Brom 3-1, with goals from Will Smallbone and a brace from Adam Armstrong sending them to Wembley.

More than 14 hours after the final whistle, Mr Sunak posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share his celebrations in the ground after the massive result, which puts his side on the brink of an immediate return to Wembley.

He said: "Still buzzing. We're going to Wembley."

The PM also posted a photo of him in the stands, with thousands of fans on the pitch celebrating in the background.

He watched the game with his parents, Yashvir and Usha.

He said in April he was hoping for a “trip to Wembley” at the end of the football season to watch his team in the play-offs.
