Overview

  • Ladislav Krejci put Wolves ahead on eight minutes before Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s header, Anton Stach’s free-kick and Noah Okafor’s finish turned the match before half-time.
  • Karl Darlow produced key second-half saves, denying Marshall Munetsi and others to secure Leeds’ first away league win of the season.
  • Wolves sit bottom on zero points after five games, their worst league start, with only two Premier League teams historically surviving from such a position.
  • Home supporters booed and chanted against owners Fosun and chairman Jeff Shi, reflecting anger over results and recent transfer decisions.
  • Jorgen Strand Larsen urged a mentality shift while backing the manager, as Daniel Farke said Leeds’ early displays show they belong in the division.
