Leon Best has revealed he has an added incentive to put one over Derby in the play-off semi-finals.

Best weighed in with two goals and a man of the match performance as Saints booked their place in the play-offs with a 4-1 win over Southend.

That has guaranteed them two legs against third-placed Derby for a place at Wembley.

But it means even more for Best than most players.

"Derby are a rival club for me as a Nottingham-born lad," he said. "I'm looking forward to getting a few goals up there."

Best's double provided his third and fourth goals since returning from an ultra-successful loan spell at Yeovil.

It's a remarkable turnaround for the 20-year-old - who would have thought six months ago he'd be keeping Grzegorz Rasiak out of the starting XI!

Best now believes Saints must take this chance to put the club back in what everyone at St Mary's believes is their rightful place.

Though he is now focussed on Derby, he admits it's hard not to have an eye on Wembley.

"I have to keep it to myself and I do, but I definitely do think about it," he said.

"This club has got to be in the Premiership. We're a Premiership club and hopefully we can get there."
