Graeme Souness says Leeds United should have 'got themselves out' of the relegation zone

Graeme Souness has admitted that he is "not sure anymore" about Leeds United's chances of staying in the Premier League following their 1-0 defeat to Everton.

Illan Meslier's near-post misjudgement proved to be one of the most pivotal moments in Leeds' relegation battle so far this season. Seamus Coleman's speculative effort saw Everton claim all three points and leapfrog the Whites in the table, when a win for Michael Skubala's side would have seen them move four points clear of the Toffees.

Elsewhere, victories for both Southampton and Bournemouth over Chelsea and Wolves respectively also piled on the misery for Leeds this weekend. There was some light relief as both Leicester City and West Ham United lost to Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur - with Leeds remaining just one point behind the Hammers and five off the Foxes.
