Leeds United clashed heads with Wolverhampton Wanderers at Elland Road earlier today as they looked to earn a good result at home in the Premier League. The Whites made a quick start to the game and got their noses ahead in the 18th minute when James Justin found the back of the net. Noah Okafor doubled his team’s advantage just a couple of minutes later as Daniel Farke’s men went into the half-time break 2-0 down on the scoreline.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin managed to get his name on the scoresheet as well via the penalty spot in injury time as Leeds cruised to an impressive 3-0 win at Elland Road.
