AliousHeadline: Leeds expert cheekily spots Daniel Farke’s “only mistake” despite near-flawless Wolves victory
Leeds United delivered one of their most complete performances of the season as they brushed aside Wolves 3-1 at Elland Road, with Daniel Farke’s tactical blueprint executed almost to perfection.
Despite Wolves taking an early lead through Ladislav Krejci, Leeds roared back before halftime, striking three times in quick succession via Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Anton Stach and Noah Okafor.
Against a side tipped as favourites, and well-established in the Premier League, it was Leeds who looked composed, aggressive, and in control.
Although Wolves carved out opportunities in the second half, Leeds themselves could easily have extended their advantage. The result now sees Farke’s men sit on seven points from their opening five games, comfortably clear of the relegation zone and already looking more competitive than some critics expected.
Yorkshire Evening Post journalist Graham Smyth praised the German boss for a near-flawless display, joking that the only slip-up Farke made was wardrobe-related.
He braved the opening five minutes without a coat before quickly requesting one—hardly the kind of mistake to worry the fanbase.
The wider mood around Leeds has shifted. While some supporters were sceptical of Farke’s appointment and rumours of contingency plans still linger, it’s difficult to argue with the progress on show.
Leeds look sharper, more organised, and their summer recruitment appears to be bedding in well.
Yes, the season is long and setbacks will come—heavy defeats like the 5-0 loss to Arsenal and their early Carabao Cup exit are proof of that.
But instead of dwelling on doubts over Farke’s future, Leeds fans may now dare to look up the table rather than nervously over their shoulders.
At least for now, the “only mistake” against Wolves was a missing jacket—not a tactical misstep.
