Leeds end their drought with a first-half surge to beat Wolves 3-1 at Molineux

Leeds overcame Ladislav Krejci’s eighth-minute opener to earn their first Premier League away win of the season, beating Wolves 3-1 on a rain-lashed afternoon at Molineux. Goals from Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Anton Stach and Noah Okafor arrived in a blistering 15-minute spell before half-time, turning a match that had seemed to be tilting the hosts’ way.

Daniel Farke's side, without a top-flight goal in three games, rediscovered their cutting edge and then managed the game with assurance. Wolves, jeered off at the interval and again at full-time, could not turn a flurry of second-half pressure into a comeback, as Karl Darlow denied Marshall Munetsi and Mosquera to protect the result that lifts Leeds into the top half and leaves Wolves rooted to the bottom with five defeats from five.
