Leeds United demonstrated their new style of play under Javi Gracia as the Whites stretched the pitch to utilise the flanks during the 1-0 win over Southampton, while also setting a new record for passing accuracy this season.
It was a telling sign that one of Leeds' full-backs, Junior Firpo, was the one to make the difference against the Saints. Width, width and more width was the order of the day under Gracia as the Whites looked to spread the ball to their wide players as much as possible.
Firpo and Luke Ayling will no doubt go on to be key players under Gracia if the win over Southampton was any indication of what the rest of the season has in store. Wilfried Gnonto also showed glimpses of his quality in the wide areas as he looked to take on the opposition defenders at will.
