Leeds United took a huge step towards Premier League safety with a 3-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Elland Road, a result that leaves the bottom side on the brink of relegation. James Justin's acrobatic overhead kick and Noah Okafor's smart finish inside a blistering opening 25 minutes did the damage before Dominic Calvert-Lewin made absolutely sure with a stoppage-time penalty.
Having backed up Monday's historic win at Manchester United, Daniel Farke's side claimed back-to-back league victories for the first time this season to move on to 39 points. For Rob Edwards' Wolves, an eight-year stint in the top flight is all but over, with the visitors marooned at the bottom and 15 points adrift of safety with only a handful of games remaining.
A Blistering Opening Quarter
Just as they had at Old Trafford, Leeds came flying out of the blocks. Calvert-Lewin could have had the hosts ahead inside the first minute when Okafor burst through to set him up, only for Wolves goalkeeper Dan Bentley to produce a smothering save. Justin then headed over and a Calvert-Lewin cutback rolled tantalisingly across the face of goal, the early signs suggesting Leeds carried no hangover from their midweek exertions.
