Dominic Calvert-Lewin equalised for Wolves in the first half with his first Leeds goal At a glance Leeds come from behind to claim second Premier League win of the season Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Anton Stach and Noah Okafor score first Leeds goals before half-time Ladislav Krejci had put Wolves ahead on his home debut for the club Three first-half goals helped Leeds claim their first Premier League away win of the season at the expense of Wolves, who remain rooted to the foot of the table without a point this term. The visitors had failed to find the net in the top flight since Lukas Nmecha's late penalty against Everton on 18 August but they responded magnificently to Ladislav Krejci's well-taken opener to claim all three points at Molineux. Dominic Calvert-Lewin brilliantly headed Jayden Bogle's deflected cross past Jose Sa to restore parity before Anton Stach's sweetly struck free-kick completed the turnaround eight minutes later. Things got even better for the visitors on the stroke of half-time when Noah Okafor collected Stach's pass in his stride and guided a low, left-footed shot into the far corner. Jorgen Strand Larsen – who signed a new five-year deal with Wolves this week – was introduced alongside Marshall Munetsi and Hugo Bueno at half-time as manager Vitor Pereira attempted to coax a response from his players, but the changes had little effect. Munetsi's looping header, which was superbly tipped over the bar by Karl Darlow, was the closest the home side came to reducing the deficit in the second period. Wolves become only the sixth team to lose their first five games of a Premier League season while Leeds move into the top half. Have your say on Wolves’ performance What did you make of Leeds’ display? After going three consecutive Premier League games without finding the net, fans and pundits alike had been questioning where Leeds' goals were going to come from this season. The visitors went into the game having yet to score from open play in the top flight but they delivered an emphatic response to their doubters with three fantastic first-half strikes. For all the questions over his fitness record, Calvert-Lewin's wonderful first-half header suggests he has lost none of the aerial threat that earned him a reputation as one of the league's most dangerous strikers around the turn of the decade. If Leeds' first goal was good, their second was even better as Stach combined precision and power to curl a wonderful free-kick into the top corner after Calvert-Lewin had been fouled by Krejci on the edge of the box Okafor's calm finish late in the half meant Leeds had scored three first-half goals in a Premier League away game for the first time since December 2020, when they beat West Brom 5-0 at the Hawthorns. Farke's side adopted a more measured approach in the second half, restricting Wolves to few clear-cut opportunities while continuing to pose a threat on the counter-attack. Their two-goal cushion rarely looked under serious threat, however, and they comfortably held on to win their first top-flight away game since beating Wolves 4-2 at Molineux in March 2023. Having had a full week of training with his whole squad for the first time this season, Wolves boss Pereira – who signed a new three-year contract earlier this week – will have been hopeful of getting off the mark against a Leeds side with problems of their own. When three summer signings combined to give the hosts an eighth-minute lead, it seemed as if Wolves' efforts on the training pitch were beginning to bear fruit. Fer Lopez's first-time pass from Tolu Arokodare's lay-off was perfectly weighted for Krejci, whose lofted finish was just as easy on the eye. The Girona loanee's goal proved to be nothing more than a false dawn, however, as familiar failings reared their head before the break. Calvert-Lewin comfortably beat Cristhian Mosquera in the air to head Leeds level, while Krejci's foul that led to the visitors' second was naive in the extreme. Leeds' third goal was a dreadful one from a Wolves perspective, as Emmanuel Agbadou's poor pass allowed Stach to send Okafor racing clear and finish with aplomb. Hugo Bueno was lively after coming on at half-time and Darlow did well to save Munetsi's goal-bound header but there was little improvement from the home side in the second period. The final whistle was met by loud boos from the Wolves fans, leaving Pereira with plenty to ponder ahead of next weekend's trip to Tottenham Hotspur.

Leeds United have won each of their last three league games against Wolves, last winning four in a row in February 1971 under Don Revie. Wolves have won eight of their last 10 Premier League matches against newly promoted clubs (D1 L1), winning each of their last four in a row. They last won five top-flight games in a row against promoted sides between March 1963 and February 1964, though this winning run came to an end with a defeat against Leeds. Wolves have lost eight of their last nine home Premier League matches in August and September (W1), conceding 28 goals at Molineux across these nine games. Wolves have lost each of their first four games in a league season for the first time in their history. Only five teams have ever lost their first five from the start of a Premier League campaign – Southampton in 1998-99 (5), Sunderland in 2005-06 (5), Portsmouth in 2009-10 (7), Crystal Palace in 2017-18 (7) and Norwich in 2021-22 (6). Having beaten Everton 1-0 on the opening weekend, Leeds have now failed to score in their last three Premier League games. They last went four without a goal in March 2022. Leeds’ Premier League games this season have seen fewer shots on target than any other side (19), with the Whites having the fewest (8) and facing the joint-third fewest attempts on target (11). Leeds manager Daniel Farke has lost all seven of his Premier League matches against sides whose names start with W (two defeats vs West Ham, three defeats vs Watford, two defeats vs Wolves). It is the worst 100% losing record by a manager against sides beginning with the same letter in the competition. Leeds’ Anton Stach is the only player to record double figures for both shots (10) and chances created (10) in the Premier League so far this season. However, the German has yet to register a single goal or assist. Leeds winger Jack Harrison has scored in three of his last four Premier League appearances at Molineux against Wolves, scoring once in wins for Leeds in March 2022 and March 2023 and for Everton in a 1-1 draw in March 2025.
