'Get in' - Raphinha's reaction as Leeds United complete comeback win at Wolves

Raphinha has given his reaction after Leeds United's dramatic 3-2 win over ten-man Wolverhampton Wanderers. The 25-year-old was ruled out of the game with Covid-19 and had to watch his team-mates from home.

Although the Brazil international was unable to feature at Molineux, he was still as passionate as ever when Leeds came from behind to secure another important victory in their pursuit of Premier League survival. Raphinha was spotted celebrating the second and third goals as Jesse Marsch's side moved seven points clear of the relegation zone.

In a topsy-turvy encounter in the West Midlands, it was Wolves who began the game on the front foot and took the lead in the 26th minute as Jonny steered the ball home from inside the box. And it got worse for the Whites when Francisco Trincao doubled their advantage just before half-time.

This was after Marsch was forced to make three enforced substitutions, as Patrick Bamford, Diego Llorente and Mateusz Klich were all taken off through injury. But Leeds still had one change left as Klich's left the field with what was described as concussion.

The game would take a dramatic turning moments after the interval, though, when Raul Jimenez was shown a second yellow card for a late challenge on Illan Meslier. It was the Leeds goalkeeper who came off worse and had to be replaced by debutant Kristoffer Klaesson.

But Leeds made their man advantage count and pulled one back through Jack Harrison, before Rodrigo levelled the scores in the 66th minute. There was still plenty of time for the Whites to grab an unlikely winner and they did just that, with Luke Ayling firing the ball home to spark wild scenes in the away end.

Raphinha joined in with the celebrations on social media and appeared to shout "yes" and "get in" after Ayling smashed an effort beyond a helpless Jose Sa. He seemed extremely pleased for his Leeds team-mates as he captured 10 different stories on his Instagram account.

The first two was of Rodrigo's equaliser, while the other eight were of Ayling's strike and when the full-time whistle was blown at Molineux. Raphinha, who has been linked with a move to Liverpool and Bayern Munich, is definitely still committed to the cause and was delighted after his side's incredible three points.
