Southampton attacker jeered by opponents following bittersweet reunion | OneFootball

Southampton loanee Adam Armstrong recently faced massive jeering in the Championship. Unsurprisingly, it was by Leeds fans, who have an unforgettable memory of him.

Though an intriguing opinion, wasn't Southampton's previous Championship stint better than their ongoing run? You might agree on this, at least to some extent.

Probably that was the last time when instead of receiving humiliation, the Saints inflicted massive scorelines against opponents. Back when consecutive wins and not losses felt normal for Southampton.

Finally, who could forget Adam Armstrong's finish which won Southampton a Top Flight promotion? Definitely, it is every Saints fan's best club memory in recent years.

Now, for Southampton, that game feels unforgettable for all the right reasons. But you know, there's another club that still isn't over that final.

Easy to guess right? It's Leeds United who missed promotion last time with that final loss.

While this season, they are sure of a Premier League spot, but the pain of that loss still weighs on their hearts. Their recent actions against Adam Armstrong clearly depicted this.

You would know Armstrong, after joining West Bromwich, plays in the Championship currently. Well, recently the ex-Saints forward faced Leeds, where he was given a harsh welcome by the home fans.

Anyway, the Southampton-Leeds relation hasn't been smooth recently. Particularly, when just yesterday, the Saints felt ridiculed being called subpar to the Championship side.
