Joleon Lescott criticises decision to send off Raul Jimenez in Leeds United's win over Wolves

Former Manchester City defender Joleon Lescott has criticised referee Kevin Friend for his decision to send off Raul Jimenez following his foul on Illan Meslier. The Mexican was given a second yellow card for a late challenge on the goalkeeper in Leeds United's 3-2 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The incident proved to be a turning point in the context of the game after Wolves led 2-0 thanks to first-half goals from Jonny Otto and Francisco Trincao. However, Jimenez's 53rd minute dismissal tipped the momentum Leeds' way and Jesse Marsch's side took full advantage of having an extra man.

Jack Harrison pulled a goal back with a neat finish, before Rodrigo levelled moments later. And the Whites completed the turnaround when Luke Ayling slotted home to cause delirium in the away end at Molineux.
