Saints (For All Intents and Purposes) Back In League Championship; Pilgrims League-Two Bound

At Plymouth, England:

Richard Lambert scored twice (45', PK-59') as Southampton all but secured promotion to England's League Championship following their 3-1 road win over Plymouth Argyle in Monday English League One action.  With one match remaining, the Saints have a vastly superior goal differential (+46 to +29) vis-a-viv third-place Huddersfield.  The loss condemned the Pilgrims to their second successive relegation.  They will be playing next season in League Two.
