Leeds started their 22/23 campaign in style, coming back from a goal down to beat Wolves in front of a packed out Elland Road crowd. This was the third time in as many games that Leeds had trailed their West Midland adversaries, only to deliver a sucker punch when they least expected it.
Last October, Rodrigo's 94th minutes penalty cancelled out Hwang Hee-chan's 10th minute strike to share the spoils. However, the pièce de résistance of comebacks took place in March, shortly after Jesse Marsch had taken over. Leeds found themselves 2-0 down, with only thirty left on the clock. Goals from Harrison, Rodrigo and an injury time winner from Ayling, completed Wolves misery on that day.
Leeds got off to the worst possible start after just five minutes. Pedro Neto outmuscled Kristensen deep on the left wing. His cross field long ball was headed down by Gibbs White into the pathway of Daniel Podence. His mishit volley smashed into the ground before bouncing up and over Meslier with the assistance of the underside of the crossbar.
Gradually, after a poor start, Leeds began to settle, and create chances of their own. Halfway through the first half, they got their reward. Arronson robbed Gibbs White of possession in his own penalty area, after the visitors failed to clear their lines. The ball fell kindly to Rodrigo, who fired a diagonal shot, hard and low past Sa at his near post. It was his fourth goal in two games, and third strike in as many matches against Bruno Lage's team.
Wolves looked the more dangerous side going into the break; only acrobatic saves from Meslier, kept the scores level at half-time. Leeds were the more dominant side in the second half, and deservedly got their winner fifteen minutes from time. Second half substitute Klich carved open the Wolves defence, releasing Bamford deep on the nearside penalty area. His low cross into the penalty area caused Rayan Ait-Nouri to turn the ball past his own keeper after pressure from Aaronson.
