New Leeds United manager Javi Gracia's reign began with a 1-0 Premier League home win over bottom side Southampton as Junior Firpo's goal helped the Yorkshire club snap a 10-game winless run and move out of the relegation zone on Saturday.
Leeds climbed to 17th on 22 points after 24 games, a point above the drop zone, following their first league victory since before the World Cup break.
"After 10 games without a win, the team needed it. It is one step, but an important step," Gracia told Sky Sports. "The difference was we were solid. We got a clean sheet and that is important. That is the way we need to grow. I can tell you I am proud of my players; today they did their job. We are happy with the result and attitude."this week and edged a scrappy first half in which neither side created much of note.
Firpo finally broke the deadlock in front of a raucous Elland Road crowd in the 77th minute, squeezing a tame effort under goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu after being cleverly set up with a flick by Jack Harrison.
