Leeds United: Three-goal Whites break open-play goal duck with convincing Molineux victory — YEP 20/9/25 Wolves 1-3

Daniel Farke’s Leeds United recorded their first away win of the season at Molineux.

Leeds United got their open play goal and another to boot as part of a convincing 3-1 win at Wolves on Saturday.

Goals from Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Anton Stach and Noah Okafor ensured all three points went back up to West Yorkshire. Leeds came from behind to produce an excellent victory and take a massive early three points.

Things couldn’t have started much worse for Leeds, who after squandering an early chance of their own fell behind inside eight minutes. Wolves summer signing Ladislav Krejci was the goalscorer, breaking into the box from midfield before nicking the ball beyond Karl Darlow.

Leeds grew into the game from that moment, however, and got their equaliser on the half-hour mark when Jayden Bogle's deep cross was brilliantly headed in by Calvert-Lewin. The Whites striker continued to impose himself physically and won a free-kick with just over five minutes of the half remaining.

Stach stepped up and rifled an effort into Jose Sa’s top corner from all of 25 yards, sending the Molineux away end into rapture as 1-0 down became 2-1 up. Farke’s side continued to press and while Wolves had a few openings, they never looked overly dangerous.

Things got even better just before the break, with Stach intercepting a loose pass and playing Okafor into acres of space behind the exposed Wolves defence. And Leeds’ Swiss winger made no mistake, producing a great finish into the far corner as loud boos began to rattle around Molineux.

Wolves made three changes at half-time, including the introduction of last season’s top-scorer Jorgen Strand Larsen, and adopted a more direct approach as Leeds looked to keep it tight at the back and defend their lead. Karl Darlow was forced into a pair of good saves to prevent Marshall Munetsi from pulling one back as the hour mark approached.

Leeds continued to defend well and break up play as the minutes ticked on, winning free-kicks and doing their best to up the frustration inside Molineux going into the final 20 minutes. Wolves kept swinging crosses into the box and had some half chances, but the likes of Munetsi and Tolu Arokodare were unable to capitalise.

Jayden Bogle limped off with what looked like a very painful foot injury as Leeds played out the final minutes looking to hold onto their lead. And Farke’s side did exactly that, with three huge away points taking them into the top half of the table.

Huge Leeds United transfer boost as 'personal terms agreed' with £17m midfielder after Sean Longstaff — YEP 16/7/25

By Kyle Newbould Leeds United appear to be zoning in on midfield reinforcements with just over one month until their Premier League return. Leeds United appear to have taken a big step forward in their pursuit of Anton Stach amid reports the midfielder has agreed personal terms on a move to Elland Road. The YEP exclusively reported on interest in Stach almost three weeks ago, with Leeds identifying the ball-winning midfielder as a prime candidate to add the kind of physicality and experience Daniel Farke desires. The 6ft 4ins German international is considered one of the best ball-winners in the Bundesliga and is expected to attract interest from several possible rivals. Leeds missed out on £47million pair Habib Diarra and Noah Sadiki to Sunderland but still saw the Hoffenheim midfielder and Newcastle United’s Sean Longstaff as viable transfer targets, with a £15m agreement reached in principle for the latter this week. And now Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg has provided an ...

by Kwadwo Hemeng Leeds United have had some impressive results in pre-season so far. In three games, they have failed to lose and have racked up impressive scorelines. Thursday was no different. While the first team is preparing for the next friendly against Villarreal, the U21s side, with a host of first team stars, thrashed Norweigian side Lyn 1896 10-2 in a pre-season friendly this afternoon. There were some surprising names on the scoresheet – Patrick Bamford scored, Sam Greenwood netted a brace and Joe Gelhardt scored four goals in the game. This is the second friendly the trio have featured in; they played in the friendly against Hartlepool last weekend. The trio did not make the trip to Germany, as Daniel Farke has instructed them to find new clubs. Patrick Bamford was informed after a long personal conversation with the Leeds boss. Farke then revealed this crucial information right after the club’s first game against Manchester United. According to the German coach, h...

by Kwadwo Hemeng Leeds United are playing in the Premier League next season. But with the transfer window coming up, there are still some questions about the squad that need to be answered. Starting striker Joel Piroe has been first choice over the last two seasons. And he has delivered, scoring over 35 goals. But in recent weeks, Leeds’ rumoured moves show that there may be doubt over his ability heading into the Premier League. Over the last month, the club have been linked with George Hirst, and more recently Celtic star Daizen Maeda. Wrexham are also said to be very interested in signing Patrick Bamford this summer, so Leeds will definitely sign a new striker. TEAMtalk are reporting that Leeds United have drawn up a shortlist of strikers for the summer. It includes two current Premier League players, and a former Tottenham star. But surprisingly, the trio have just 19 career goals in the competition. Whichever of them the club decides to sign will have a big say in survivin...
