Report and free highlights as Patrick Bamford, Stuart Dallas and Raphinha all score as Leeds put back-to-back defeats behind them to beat Southampton 3-0; Che Adams goal ruled out and Nathan Tella penalty overturned by VAR with game goaless
Second-half goals from Patrick Bamford, Stuart Dallas and Raphinha lifted Leeds into the top half of the Premier League with a 3-0 win over Southampton.
Bamford netted his 13th goal of the season from Tyler Roberts' turn and release in midfield before slotting past Alex McCarthy when clean through less than two minutes into a second half they would go on to dominate.
Before the break, Southampton had enjoyed the better of the game and were initially awarded a penalty for Diego Llorente's foul on Nathan Tella before it was overturned by VAR, and in the final minute of the half Che Adams was denied a goal from a free-kick which had been taken before Andre Marriner had blown his whistle.
But with Bamford's goal behind them, Leeds secured their first win in three games with a fine second from Dallas 12 minutes from time, before Raphinha beat McCarthy direct from a free-kick (84) to move the hosts up to 10th, and exceed their entire points tally from the last season they were at this level.
