Leeds United star Junior Firpo has insisted that the Whites "were the better team" after they beat Southampton 1-0 at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon.
Leeds recorded their first Premier League victory since a 4-3 win over Bournemouth back in November as they ran out 1-0 winners over the Saints. Firpo's first goal for the club sealed all three points for Javi Gracia's side in front of a thunderous Elland Road atmosphere.
It took until the 77th minute for Firpo to break the deadlock. The full-back slotted his low effort under Gavin Bazunu, ensuring Gracia got off to the perfect start. After the full-time whistle blew, the defender spoke to the media as he insisted that despite the scoreline being so close, Leeds thoroughly deserved to win the match.
