Match Report
Leeds United made easy work of a sorry Wolves side at Elland Road, running out comfortable 3-0 winners to push themselves firmly towards Premier League safety. Two goals in two minutes set the tone early and the game was effectively over before half-time.
James Justin got things going on 18 minutes with a stunning overhead kick, and Noah Okafor made it two just moments later, sweeping home after Brenden Aaronson's low cross split the defence. Wolves thought they had pulled one back when Adam Armstrong's clever chip went in on 82 minutes, but the flag was up for offside. Dominic Calvert-Lewin then sealed it from the spot in stoppage time, after VAR confirmed Hugo Bueno had fouled him in the box.
Back-to-back league wins for the first time this season moves Leeds six points clear of the relegation zone. For Wolves, 15 points adrift of safety at the foot of the table, the result edged them ever closer to mathematical confirmation of the drop.
