Boro hold team meeting amid 'spygate' drama

Middlesbrough players held a team meeting on Thursday amid uncertainty over their season following a 'spygate' scandal involving Southampton. Southampton have been charged by the EFL with breaching regulations after Middlesbrough alleged their training session was filmed ahead of the first leg of their Championship playoff semifinal, with a photograph published by the Daily Mail reportedly showing Southampton intern William Salt conducting the filming. Despite the controversy, Southampton beat Middlesbrough over two legs to advance to the May 23 Championship playoff final against Hull City.
