Leeds United achieved their first away victory of the season with a 3-1 triumph over Wolves, marking a significant boost for the team. The match saw a strong comeback from Leeds after initially falling behind, with goals from Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Anton Stach, and Noah Okafor securing the win. This victory comes as a relief for Leeds, who had struggled to score in their previous matches.
Pereira said: “We know we need to improve. The first half was not in our level and second half we decided to take more risks and play with two strikers and it was different. It is a difficult time for us but the way to get better is to keep working. Sometimes it just needs a result to make it change. This is a time we need to be together and help our players.”
Daniel Farke said: “We stay humble. We know two wins after five games is really good, seven points for a newly promoted side is really good. But we also know seven points won’t be enough to earn the right to stay in this league, so it’s a long road and we have to add a few more wins and many more points. It’s important to enjoy these moments and we know wins are important for the whole confidence and atmosphere. The first five games have shown we belong in this league, we can play at this level and we can win these games.”
Farke added: “It was never in doubt we would score. In the first games we have created chances and had many shots, we have worked so hard during the week to force a goal. We were dominant and created many chances with excellent goals and we had a clinical edge. We had a dominant start and (were) confident, you can see we wanted to dominate it. It was crucial we didn’t dwell and lose confidence (from the Wolves opener), and after such a heartbreaking final in the last game (last week’s late defeat at Fulham). We just kept believing in what we wanted to do. We scored three excellent goals.”
Leeds United’s performance against Wolves was a testament to their resilience and determination. After conceding an early goal to Ladislav Krejci, Leeds responded with a series of impressive goals. Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s strike marked his first for the club since joining from Everton, leveling the score. Anton Stach’s stunning free-kick and Noah Okafor’s finish just before halftime secured the victory.
This win not only provided Leeds with three crucial points but also lifted the team’s morale, having previously struggled to find the back of the net. Manager Daniel Farke emphasized the importance of staying grounded despite the victory, acknowledging that the road ahead is long and requires continued effort and focus. The team’s ability to create and convert chances was evident, showcasing their potential to compete at this level.
Leeds’ next challenge will be to maintain this momentum and build on their recent success as they continue their campaign in the Premier League.
