Leeds United secured their first away victory of the season with an impressive 3-1 win over Wolves on Saturday.
The match at Molineux was seen as a must-win for Leeds, especially considering Wolves’ winless start to the season. Despite falling behind early, Daniel Farke’s team rallied, with goals from new signings Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Noah Okafor, and a spectacular free-kick from Anton Stach sealing the comeback.
Wayne Rooney, analyzing the game on Match of the Day, pointed out the pressure now facing Wolves. He noted the impact of injuries and key departures on the team’s lack of confidence and urged them to start picking up points to kickstart their season.
Rooney’s assessment highlighted the precarious position Wolves find themselves in, potentially being dragged into a relegation battle alongside Leeds. As established Premier League teams like West Ham also struggle, Leeds’ survival hopes are buoyed by the added pressure on their relegation-threatened rivals.
With upcoming fixtures at Elland Road against Bournemouth and Tottenham, Leeds have an opportunity to further distance themselves from the bottom three and continue their fight for Premier League survival.
