Leeds United vs Southampton
It was a dream start for Gracia in charge of Leeds who finally get another win in the league. They play Fulham in the FA Cup next but will feel much more confident about their chances of Premier League survival after that performance. Southampton are not cut adrift at the bottom yet but they will be desperate to beat Leicester City when they visit Saint Mary's Stadium on March 4th.
Leeds United vs Southampton
That was an absolutely huge win for Leeds to lift them out of the bottom three! The game wasn't a classic and chances were few and far between but Leeds were the more positive team throughout and looked to get at the Saints far more. They deserved the goal which came from Firpo in the second-half after he surged into the box to collect a backheel from Harrison and stroke it past Bazunu. Southampton offered very little going forward and look like a team in peril.
