Leeds United 2-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers highlights: Whites come from behind to win

48' Neto bowled over by Kristensen inside the box but ref waves away faint penalty appeal.

46’ Another 100mph half gets underway

Leeds United and Wolves are tied at 1-1 after a half of thrills and spills at Elland Road.Wolves went ahead in the sixth minute as Daniel Podence struck after Pedro Neto had raced away from Rasmus Kristensen but continued high Whites press led to Rodrigo equalising in the 24th minute.

Wolves striker Podence fired in the game’s first attempt in the second minute but his half volley from 20 yards out flew harmlessly wide.But the visitors took the lead just four minutes later after Neto got in behind Kristensen to set Wolves away.Neto bumped Kristensen off the ball and sent in a cross which Hwang Hee-Chan headed down to Daniel Podence who converted on the half volley with a finish that beat Illan Meslier off the bar.

Leeds responded by immediately pressing Wolves back and Brenden Aaronson’s strike from the edge of the box was deflected just wide.Hwang then incensed the crowd by going to ground after the slightest touch to his face from Marc Roca and Leeds were then denied strong claims for a penalty as keeper Jose Sa wiped out Kristensen when looking to clear a free kick but Sa and Wolves escaped.

From a promising Leeds break, Patrick Bamford’s effort from 25 yards out was straight at Sa and Jack Harrison was then booked for tripping Neto on a potentially dangerous break.Moments later, Hwang turned Robin Koch as he chased a long ball and Meslier was needed to produce a solid save to keep out his fierce shot.But Leeds were continually looking to press Wolves high up the park and that harrying led to an opening for Rodrigo who worked space for a shot in the 24th minute before firing in a low shot from a tight angle that beat Sa at his near post.

Sa was then forced to save from Roca with Elland Road bouncing but back came Wolves and Meslier produced a flying leap to gather a dangerous cross from Neto who worked an opening a few minutes and fired in a low drive that Meslier gathered.From another swirling cross, Morgan Gibbs-White sent a difficult header over and a hopeful effort on the volley from Jonny went the same way.

Wolves then survived a very nervy moment in the 44th minute when Sa dithered in his own box and was dispossessed by Bamford only for his defence to save the day and clear and moments later a superb cross from Harrison flew through the box and narrowly evaded both Bamford and Rodrigo.Yet the half ended with Wolves squandering a glorious chance to back in front as Hwang’s flick played in Leander Dendoncker who was denied by yet another Meslier save from close range.

Great save by Meslier on the stroke of HT, denying Dendoncker from close range. Chances at both ends, Leeds the more aggressive.

43’ Jonny scuffs one high and wide at the breakdown of a Wolves free-kick. Even contest this, Leeds probably edging it given the domination they’ve had over the ball.

35’ Meslier holds another low drive from Wolves.
