Leeds United answered their critics in style with a commanding 3-1 win over Wolves at Molineux, a result that showcased both their resilience and their newfound attacking edge. Despite falling behind early, the Whites roared back with three goals inside 14 minutes, effectively sealing the contest before half-time.
What made the victory even sweeter for Leeds fans was that **all three scorers — Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Anton Stach, and Noah Okafor — were new arrivals, underlining the depth and impact of their summer business.
The win lifted Leeds to seven points from their opening five matches, easing some pressure after a slow start in front of goal that had seen their only previous strike come from the penalty spot.
BBC pundit Danny Murphy was full of praise for Leeds, describing their performance as both “clinical and confident”, noting that the scoreline finally reflected the quality they’ve shown since their Premier League return.
He argued that their current points tally undersells how competitive they have been, highlighting the cruel defeat to Fulham last week, where a late own goal denied them a deserved draw.
Murphy stressed that Leeds’ display against Wolves was the perfect response: “They’ve produced some solid performances this season without getting the rewards, but on Saturday they were ruthless and played with real belief.”
The timing of the result could prove pivotal.
With back-to-back home fixtures looming against Bournemouth and Tottenham before the international break, Leeds have the chance to establish themselves firmly in mid-table and silence any talk of an immediate relegation scrap.
Having already shown their resilience at Elland Road, most notably against Newcastle, the Whites look well-equipped to make life difficult for even the league’s top sides.
For a side many tipped to struggle, Saturday’s result felt like a statement — and if Leeds can continue combining determination with finishing power, they may just be shaping up as one of the Premier League’s surprise packages this season.
