Middlesbrough head coach Kim Hellberg used the term “cheat” when asked about a member of Southampton’s staff being caught at Boro’s training ground on Thursday morning, just 48 hours before the Championship play-off semi-final between the two clubs. Southampton were charged on Friday by the EFL with “a breach of EFL regulations” following a complaint from Middlesbrough on Thursday evening. Southampton say they are “co-operating” with the EFL. Southampton head coach Tonda Eckert cut short his post-match press conference at the Riverside Stadium, having declined to answer fully questions on the subject. 📝 @mwalker2771 🔗 nytimes.com/athletic/72658…

🚨 Middlesbrough have asked the panel if they can participate in the Spygate hearing — ordinarily, an interested party can only make written submissions — if granted, it would be highly unusual & could create more tension with Southampton #saintsfc @TheAthleticFC
