Every word Jesse Marsch said on unbelievable Leeds United turnaround, injury luck and Raphinha

Leeds United secured one of the results of the season away to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Friday night as the Whites triumphed 3-2 after going two goals down during the first half. Jesse Marsch's side sustained three injuries during the first half, which included the use of a concussion substitute for midfielder Mateusz Klich. Then, minutes after the restart, Raul Jimenez careered into Illan Meslier which prompted a fourth Leeds substitution of the night.

Jimenez was shown a second yellow for his reckless challenge, and on that decision the pendulum swung for the visitors. Three Whites goals followed, some in chaotic circumstances, capped by Luke Ayling's 91st minute clincher in the first of eight added minutes at the end of the second half.

As has become customary under Marsch, the American began his post-match press conference with a statement as opposed to answering a direct question: "Why don't I start with an injury update," he said. "Patrick Bamford we believe is not too bad. I think that with his plantar fasciitis it's just been sensitive over the last couple of weeks as he's trying to get himself back, obviously was very disappointed and then the reaction can look like it's a bad injury but I don't think it is, I think he was just really disappointed to have to come off the pitch.
