Leeds United moved out of the bottom three after they beat relegation rivals Southampton 1-0 at Elland Road in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Junior Firpo's 77th minute strike made the difference as Javi Gracia got off to the perfect start as Leeds manager. The Saints came to West Yorkshire off the back of an impressive 1-0 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, but the Whites kept them at arm's-length to win a crucial relegation clash.
Jack Harrison's clever flick found Firpo inside the area as the defender slotted his low effort under Gavin Bazunu in goal for the Saints. Although the goalkeeper should have arguably done better, Leeds did not care one bit as wild celebrations were sparked the moment the ball hit the back of the net.
