Leeds took another huge step towards Premier League survival with a 3-0 victory that all but confirmed opponents Wolves' relegation from the top flight.
After winning away to Manchester United on Monday night, goals from James Justin, Noah Okafor and Dominic Calvert-Lewin gave Leeds back-to-back league victories for the first time this season to move Daniel Farke's side nine points clear of 18th placed Tottenham.
Spurs can officially send Wolves down by beating Brighton live on Sky Sports from 5.30pm, but Rob Edwards' side are really just awaiting mathematical confirmation of the drop, as they now trail West Ham by15 points with only five games remaining, and have a goal-difference deficit of 20 to the Hammers.
After Calvert-Lewin missed a couple of big early chances to put Leeds ahead, Justin opened the scoring in the 18th minute with a stunning overhead kick from six yards out after Ethan Ampadu had been denied by Wolves goalkeeper Dan Bentley from even closer range.
Wolves: Bentley (6), S Bueno(5), Krejci (6), T Gomes (5), Tchatchoua (5), Andre (5), J Gomes (5), H Bueno (5), Bellegarde (5), A Gomes (5), Armstrong (6)
Subs: Mane (7), Lima (5), R Gomes (5), Hwang (5)
Player of the Match: Noah Okafor
The Elland Road crowd had to wait just 86 seconds for another goal, with the in-form Okafor converting Brenden Aaronson's inch-perfect cross at the back post to score his fifth goal in as many Premier League appearances.
Wolves barely threatened in the first half, with their best moment coming when defender Ladislav Krejci's header was blocked by Pascal Struijk before being cleared away by Calvert-Lewin.
The visitors offered more after the break, with another Krejci header forcing a stunning save from Karl Darlow, before substitute Rodrigo Gomes shot wide when through on goal.
Wolves did get the ball in the net but Adam Armstrong's lovely chipped finish was ruled out for offside, with VAR confirming he had strayed marginally beyond the last defender.
Team news:
Leeds were unchanged from their huge victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, with the only alteration to their matchday squad being Joe Rodon's return to the bench.
Wolves made two changes from their heavy defeat to West Ham with goalkeeper Dan Bentley and defender Toti Gomes starting.
Any remaining Leeds nerves were dispelled in stoppage time when Calvert-Lewin converted a penalty he had won himself after being fouled by Hugo Bueno following a nicely weighted through ball from substitute Wilfried Gnonto.
The victory concludes an enormous week for Leeds that has gone a long way to ensuring their Premier League status is preserved for another season.
Now on 39 points in 15th place with five games remaining - as well as being nine points clear of Tottenham, Leeds are six points ahead of Nottingham Forest and seven clear of West Ham, who play on Sunday and Monday, respectively.
