Alan Pardew’s side will contest the national final of the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy against Carlisle at the home of football on Sunday, March 28.

Rickie Lambert, a Dan Woodards own goal and Adam Lallana gave Saints a 3-1 victory on the night in the second leg of the southern area final against MK Dons at St Mary’s. That meant a 4-1 aggregate win with Mark Randall getting the consolation.

Earlier in the evening Carlisle defeated Leeds 6-5 on penalties to win the northern section and book their place at Wembley where they will meet Saints.
