Winning ugly and riding the storm
This week’s reflections on Leeds United’s last March 18 visit to Molineux scoffed at the chances of anything remotely as incredible happening again any time soon. The four injuries, red card and 2-0-down comeback after a disastrous opening 45 minutes were safe on their plinth as United’s only miracle at Molineux for another few decades.
Yesterday was not in any way as miraculous, but just as incident-packed, relentless and entertaining, especially for neutrals. There was no need for any miracles because Leeds had the lead from the sixth minute and never relinquished it.
