Leeds boss Javi Gracia described his side's 1-0 home win against Southampton in his first game in charge as 'something really special'.

Junior Firpo's second-half strike halted Leeds' 10-game winless run in the Premier League and lifted them out of the bottom three.

Former Watford, Malaga and Valencia boss Gracia was delighted with his winning start after being appointed as Jesse March's permanent replacement on Tuesday.

The 52-year-old Spaniard said: '(I'm) very happy because when I came I could feel all the people around the club really needed a good result.
