Leeds United secured a historic 3-1 victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux, setting new records for the club under manager Daniel Farke against Vitor Pereira’s side. This win marked Leeds’ first Premier League victory on the road this season and their first win overall since March 2023, coincidentally also achieved at Molineux in a 4-2 triumph.
By defeating Wolves, Leeds established two new club records and prevented their opponents from matching a record dating back to 1964. The standout performers in the match were new signings Anton Stach and Gabriel Gudmundsson, who received high praise in the post-game ratings.
While Gudmundsson had faced frustration following an own goal in the previous match against Fulham, he redeemed himself with an outstanding performance against Wolves. Leeds’ full-backs played a crucial role in driving the team forward, with Gudmundsson impressing on the left flank alongside partner Jayden Bogle. Despite Bogle’s injury, Gudmundsson showcased his attacking prowess, nearly providing two assists during the game.
Manager Farke commended Gudmundsson’s resilience and response to adversity, emphasizing the importance of bouncing back after setbacks. Reflecting on the match, Farke highlighted the team’s efficiency in front of goal and praised Gudmundsson’s contributions, particularly his partnership with Noah Okafor.
The win against Wolves serves as a significant milestone for Leeds, providing a foundation for further progress in the league. Players like Okafor acknowledge the need for improvement in away games to complement their strong performances at Elland Road. Despite facing Wolves as a favorable opponent, Leeds must maintain consistency and aim for success in all fixtures to continue their positive trajectory in the Premier League.
