Analysis: Another fast start proves enough for Leeds

Just as they did at Old Trafford on Monday, Leeds came flying out of the blocks and could have been ahead inside the first minute as Noah Okafor burst through and played in Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who was denied by Wolves keeper Dan Bentley.

The hosts were more than worthy of their lead by the time the goal did arrive, with Bentley making a fine save to deny Ethan Ampadu from point-blank range moments before he was beaten by James Justin's bicycle kick.

Okafor's seventh league goal of the campaign - and third in two matches - made the scoreline more reflective of the game to that point.

But the enjoyable afternoon watching their side torment their lowly visitors that Leeds fans might have envisaged at that point did not transpire.

Should they go on to complete the job and secure their Premier League status for next season, it is not the sloppiness that exemplified their second-half showing that will be remembered.

Instead, it will be the manner in which they pressed with such ferocity at Manchester United and the way they replicated that, if only for 20 minutes, against Wolves to take themselves within touching distance of safety.
