Leeds United came from behind to stun Wolves at Molineux, securing a 3–1 away victory and climbing out of early-season trouble. Despite an early strike from Ladislav Krejčí, Leeds responded with three first-half goals in a devastating 15-minute spell from Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Anton Stach, and Noah Okafor. Wolves’ poor run continues as they remain rooted to the bottom of the table after five straight defeats.
