What is Spygate 2.0? Middlesbrough make complaint against Southampton over ‘unauthorised filming’ before Championship play-offs

Middlesbrough have filed a formal complaint against Southampton, accusing the club of unauthorised filming ahead of their Championship play-off clash. The incident has drawn comparisons to the 2019 'Spygate' scandal, in which Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds United were fined £200,000 by the EFL for spying on Frank Lampard's Derby County during a training session. The EFL is expected to investigate the allegations as both clubs prepare for their high-stakes play-off tie.
