Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 Leeds United highlights: Young Whites defeated by late Traore strike
and live on Freeview channel 276
Leeds are on the cusp of recording three straight victories in all competitions, just weeks after head coach Jesse Marsch’s job appeared at risk. The American – who turned 49 years old yesterday – is under no illusions that results must continue to improve after an eight-game winless run earlier this season, but victories over Liverpool and AFC Bournemouth in back-to-back fixtures have lifted Leeds to 12th in the Premier League table.
It means United will not be in the bottom three when the league breaks for a month to accommodate this year’s winter World Cup in Qatar. In the meantime, Leeds have two further fixtures to fulfil, beginning this evening against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Third Round of the Carabao Cup.

Wolves 1-0 Leeds United LIVE
‘Thank you, Joel'
24’ Robles spots the danger as Traore streaks away from Firpo in a race for a through ball, keeper heads it clear.
22' Traore sends a low shot just wide of Robles' far post. Leeds had given it away in their own third before Neves found the winger.
Formation
13' Mateo Joseph playing off the left with Sonny Perkins and Joe Gelhardt interchangeably swapping between No. 9 and No. 10. Decent enough start by the youngsters.
Close call
11’ Perkins looks to have been tripped on the edge of the area. No foul says Andre Marriner.
