Sp♓eaking ♍to the media after the match, via , Gracia was delighted with his centre-backs.
It was a battle betw๊een the bottom two Premier League sides at Elland Road yeste🥂rday.
Both teams were hoping for a new manager bounceಌ after appointing new bosses during the week.
Leeds were the better side throughout the game, and Javi Gracia came out on top over ꧅fellow countryman Ruben Selles♔.
The goal came from an unlikely source, with Junior Firpo scoring his first league goal for the club.
The managerไ won’t care where the gℱoals are coming from as long as Leeds are winning.

Gracia singles out Leeds duo Koch and Wober for praise
Gracia was asked by how impressed he was with Robin Koch’s perf🍃ormance yesterday.
He refused to praise just Koch, : “In my opinion, both centre backs played really well tod🉐ay.
“They had a tough challenge. As you say with a very t🌞all player and all t𒅌he defensive line was very concentrated and the good work of the team meant we got a clean sheet.”
Gracia has plenty of defenders to choose from at Leeds, but settled on Koch and Wober against ﷺSoutha🍎mpton.
Injuries to Pasca꧂l Struijk and Liam Cooper limited his opt💮ions, but the pair performed brilliantly.
Wober’s versatility has already come i🙈n very handy since signing from RB Salzbu🐈rg last month.
Jesse Marsch was a big fan of h﷽is leadership qualities, and Gracia seems to already trust him too.
Koch had a brilliant game yesterday, both in defence and in possession.
Gracia will be delighted 🔯with both Koch and Wober as Leeds finally return to winning ways.
The Whites have once again climbed out of the relegation zone after earning three im🌠po♍rtant points.
The survival ꦆr🌠ace could end up going to the wire, and Leeds now have a tough run of matches coming up.
