Leeds United Secure Vital Win Over Relegation Rival Wolves
Leeds United claimed a crucial and confident 3-1 victory against Wolves in their first major six-pointer of the season, with Daniel Farke’s men showing sharpness in attack and resilience at the back.
Trips to Molineux are rarely dull for Leeds, and the first half was no exception. After falling behind to a well-worked Wolves move, Leeds responded in emphatic fashion, turning the game around with three goals before the break – all coming from new summer signings.
Leeds finally showed the clinical edge they had been lacking in the final third, but the second half posed a different challenge: could they maintain their lead by defending effectively?
Statistically, Wolves may have appeared to dominate, but Leeds’ tactical shift to a deeper block worked well. The first half was about incisive attacking play; the second was a display of defensive discipline, as Leeds frustrated Wolves and dealt comfortably with their aerial bombardment.
Farke hailed the performance as further evidence that Leeds belong at this level. Despite missing three key players due to injury, his side now sits on seven points from five games—proof, he says, that Leeds can compete in the Premier League.
“I’d prefer to control the second half more, but sometimes showing grit is just as important,” Farke told the YEP. “We’ve shown good defensive habits in all games except Arsenal, and in four out of five matches we’ve had chances to win. Scoring three today, despite limited attacking options, says a lot about this team.”
Leeds, along with fellow promoted clubs Burnley and Sunderland, are proving they’re more than capable of surviving in the top flight. Unlike some of the weaker promoted sides in recent seasons, all three appear competitive and deserving of their Premier League status.
Leeds’ first-half quality and second-half solidity against Wolves underline their growing identity under Farke: a side that can score, absorb pressure, and most importantly—win when it matters.
