Leeds United have been slammed by Gabriel Agbonlahor following their recent victory on the weekend at home to fellow strugglers Southampton.

Are Leeds out of the relegation zone?

It really was three huge points on Saturday at Elland Road for the Yorkshire side who were able to pull themselves out of the bottom three.

The points were won on Javi Gracia's first game in charge of Leeds which not only saw them pick up the points but put Southampton into more trouble.

Leeds have now been able to pull four points clear of the Saints who sit rock bottom of the Premier League table despite winning their prior outing against Chelsea.

But despite the win, TalkSport's Agbonlahor has issued his concerns for the Whites after feeling they showed very little to provide optimism in the win, as well as hitting out at Bamford:

"Honestly, mate, it was painful. Leeds, for me, massive result you know getting a result today [Saturday] but I wouldn't get carried away if I was Leeds because that was painful to watch today.

"Bamford couldn't move. I don't understand why they're still starting him. Leeds and Southampton, for me, are still bang in trouble."

Will Leeds be relegated this season?

One thing which is certain is the win on the weekend has not pulled the Whites out of danger just yet with just a one-point gap now opened on Everton.

However, they may see their next game against Chelsea as the perfect opportunity to open up a further gap on their relegation rivals with both Everton and Bournemouth facing Arsenal in their next games.

But consistency has not been their strength this season on the back of the five victories they have earned this season.

On only one occasion in the Premier League this season have the Whites been able to follow up a victory with another three points in their next game.

And although Agbonlahor was clearly not blown away by the performance from Leeds on the weekend, they did hold over 60% possession and record more shots on goal than Southampton (via SofaScore).

It's fair to say that Bamford didn't have the best of games as he struggled to get involved, having just 27 touches in 86 minutes, as well as losing eight duels and giving three fouls away.

It does have to be questioned whether Leeds fans will even be concerned with their club playing attractive football when they are in the position they are currently.

We are sure fans would happily take three points on a more regular basis if it means they have to settle for an uglier brand of football.
